MUFG’s Legal department globally has a business plan priority to grow the global corporate centre legal team in India. The MGS Legal team currently supports the EMEA, APAC and Americas regions with hiring currently led through the EMEA region.
We have an exciting opportunity for an associate to join on a permanent basis.
