About the role
Samsung Electronics America is seeking to add a dynamic and experienced attorney to our commercial legal team providing legal support mainly for the Home Entertainment and Digital Appliances lines of business.

Partner closely with internal stakeholders, including consumer electronics, home appliance and customer care teams and other legal department peers to support commercial objectives while managing risks to the company.

Participate in cross-functional teams to provide legal support and guidance on various business initiatives, product launches, and regulatory matters.
•
Proactively identify emerging legal and regulatory risks for the business team.
