What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support legal work end-to-end—IP, contracts, and disputes—while using AI to speed up drafting, research, and reporting in a confidentiality-focused, execution-driven team.

I’m a Legal Assistant trained in corporate law, labor contract law, securities law, bankruptcy law, and related core courses from East China University of Political Science and Law, where I built a disciplined, rule-based approach to risk and compliance.

In my internship experience, I supported IP and commercial contract work at a chip design company—assisting with silicon intellectual property management, reviewing IP authorization agreement clauses (scope, fee structure, and sub-licensing restrictions), and helping draft and file invention disclosure records.

I also supported dispute resolution matters at a Shanghai law firm by organizing evidence, assisting trial preparation, and drafting litigation documents. Earlier, at King & Wood Mallesons, I contributed to capital markets due diligence by collecting materials, analyzing legal compliance status, and preparing due diligence working papers—while continually improving my efficiency with AI tools and bilingual, cross-cultural communication.
