Associate Lawyer (m/f/d) (full-time and long-term)
About Luther
Luther is one of the leading commercial law firms in Europe, renowned for its Asia practice and well-established expertise in emerging markets. With 13 offices across Europe and 8 offices in Asia, we are present in all major European and Asian markets, offering comprehensive advice to clients in globally challenging times.
About the Job
- Our Malaysia office is a close-knit, international team, with advisors admitted in Germany, France, the UK, the US, and, of course, Malaysia. The same diversity extends to our clients, who come from around the globe. We advise major multinational corporations across various sectors as well as a large number of highly specialised SMEs.
- FDI-related matters are our core focus, and we are recognised for our expertise in advising clients on establishing, operating, expanding, and protecting their businesses, particularly in relation to manufacturing and industrial facilities. Our team members are academically strong yet always pragmatic. We approach our profession and the world with an appropriate balance of open-mindedness and humour, and, above all, we genuinely love what we do. Our clients recognise this and trust us with a very wide range of legal matters.
- This position offers the opportunity to work on challenging projects in a dynamic and diverse legal environment. However, it is not for the faint-hearted. Adapting to a new jurisdiction, particularly if you come from a civil law background, will demand perseverance and dedication. We are looking for someone who shares our belief in the potential of Malaysia and the ASEAN region to shape the future and who is eager to build a long-term career in this thriving market.

- Has outstanding academic qualifications and a solid track record of legal excellence.

- Can take on significant responsibility and manage a challenging workload.
- Is committed to delivering exceptional service to clients.
- Is proactive in business development and knowledge management.
- Is admitted to practice law in Germany, the UK, or the US.
- Has fluency in German or is admitted to practice law in Malaysia, either of which is a significant advantage.
Why Join Us?
- Work with a diverse, international team of experienced lawyers.
- Advise a wide range of clients, from major multinational corporations to highly spe-cialised SMEs.
- Be part of a firm recognised for its expertise in both European and Southeast Asian markets.
- Build a long-term career in a region poised for growth and opportunity.
