- Partner cross-functionally with Compliance, Product, Operations, Finance, Marketing, People, IT/Security, and other teams to gather information, preserve evidence, support litigation strategy, and address business practices that may create recurring litigation risk.
- Identify emerging litigation trends and proactively advise Legal leadership and business partners regarding potential exposure, mitigation opportunities, and developments that may affect [Binance.US](http://Binance.US).
- Develop and maintain scalable litigation processes, including matter-management practices, legal holds, case reporting, outside-counsel guidelines, litigation metrics, playbooks, and other tools designed to improve consistency, efficiency, and visibility.
- Manage, coach, and develop Legal team member(s) as needed, providing clear expectations, ongoing feedback, professional development, and effective prioritization of work.
- Support broader Legal department priorities and provide practical legal guidance on high-priority or time-sensitive matters as business needs evolve.

Preferred Skills/Experience:

- Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited U.S. law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar.
- At least 6 years of post-law-school practicing legal experience, with substantial experience handling complex litigation and disputes.
- Meaningful litigation experience at an excellent law firm is required; candidates may currently be practicing in-house.
- Significant experience managing outside litigation counsel, including demonstrated ability to coordinate strategy and execution across multiple external law firms simultaneously.
- Strong working knowledge of federal and state civil litigation and arbitrations including discovery, e-discovery, privilege, motion practice, settlement strategy, trials, and other core litigation processes.
- Demonstrated ability to independently evaluate complex legal and factual issues, assess risk, establish litigation strategy, and provide concise recommendations to senior stakeholders.
- Experience managing litigation budgets and legal spend, including evaluating outside-counsel staffing, scope, efficiency, and performance.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex legal issues into practical recommendations for legal and non-legal audiences.
- Strong judgment, organizational skills, and attention to detail, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-priority matters and competing deadlines.
- Experience within financial services, fintech, cryptocurrency, technology, or another highly regulated industry is required.
- Familiarity with consumer disputes, class actions, regulatory litigation, commercial disputes, securities matters, or other disputes relevant to a regulated financial-services business is preferred.
