Senior Legal Counsel
What makes the role special
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Singapore, Group-IB is a leading creator of cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime. Combating cybercrime is in the company’s DNA, shaping its technological capabilities to defend businesses, citizens, and support law enforcement operations.
Group-IB’s Digital Crime Resistance Centers (DCRCs) are located in the Middle East, Europe, Central Asia, and Asia-Pacific to help critically analyze and promptly mitigate regional and country-specific threats. These mission-critical units help Group-IB strengthen its contribution to global cybercrime prevention and continually expand its threat-hunting capabilities.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a dedicated, senior legal role embedded directly within our Digital Risk Protection (DRP) and CERT team. You will own the legal engine behind our enforcement work and help us turn deep, proven legal expertise into a standalone service for our customers.
Legal know-how is already at the core of how our team operates. This role takes that expertise and scales it: you will be the dedicated owner of take-downs and the driving force behind a new portfolio of legal services and projects. You will be the team’s legal authority on intellectual property enforcement and internet governance, working hands-on with analysts rather than at arm’s length.
The role is a senior individual contributor for now. It is primarily an internal, team-supporting role: direct client interaction is not a core requirement — your main job is to make the analysts and the service stronger.
YOUR MISSION
- Own the legal workstream behind take-downs and pre-trial enforcement — from case assessment through to resolution — across multiple jurisdictions and against phishing, scams, brand abuse, trademark misuse, online piracy, counterfeiting, and other violations.
- Supports sales and regional teams with the legal intake and preparatory work
- Prepare and drive the enforcement frameworks themselves: cease-and-desist notices, complaints and submissions to domain registrars, hosting providers, and online platforms, UDRP filings, DMCA and EUCD notices, and similar.
- Build new legal services from the ground up: investigate customer demand, research applicable legislation, and translate it into frameworks, playbooks, and built-in modules in our system — broadening the cases we can take on and ensuring customers always leave with an actionable plan.
- Create and maintain jurisdiction-specific enforcement frameworks and keep guidance current across the regions we operate in.
- Act as the legal escalation point for analysts — the person the team turns to when a violation does not fit neatly into an existing process.
- Drive legal initiatives as projects: scope, plan, and deliver them, coordinating across DRP/CERT, Threat Intelligence, Customer Success, Sales, and Product teams.
- Make AI tooling a core part of how you work — using it to close per-country legislation gaps, accelerate legal research, and move legal projects forward faster.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Proven experience in intellectual property protection on a global scale (trademarks, copyright, domains) — this is essential.
- Legal English at a fluent level — you can draft, argue, and negotiate legal documents in English with confidence.
- Strong working knowledge of internet governance: domains and the DNS, ICANN policies and UDRP, registrars, hosting providers, platform policies, and the regulatory landscape.
- A solid general understanding of how the internet works, plus enough IT literacy to reason about online infrastructure and how violations operate technically.
- Hands-on experience with take-downs or pre-trial enforcement is a strong competitive advantage.
- Comfort using AI tools for legal research and jurisdiction-specific analysis as a core part of how you work.
- A self-directed senior contributor who can manage projects, set priorities, and operate with autonomy.
