About

Chinese ecommerce and information technology giant Alibaba is a ubiquitous part of going online in China, as well as across Asia. The company is an online marketplace, infrastructure, marketing tool, cloud computing provider, digital media and entertainment source, and investor in IT and computing applications. The legal team, under the leadership of general counsel Timothy Steinert – who has been in the position since 2007 – leads the legal team at Alibaba’s Hong Kong subsidiary. Steinert’s leadership orchestrates the legal protection of the company across all issues it comes across, including its regulatory supervision, contracts and commercial initiatives of all kinds, its considerable IP and privacy law matters and the functioning of its corporate governance. The team is also responsible for the management of legal aspects related to its partnerships and other subsidiaries including Cainio Network and Koubei, through which it invests in logistics. The team also guides on matters regarding Alibaba’s strategic relationships, including those with Ant Financial Services and Alipay, the largest third-party online payment platform in China.
