Hi, I’m

Clara (Hanui) Shin

Contract Specialist
Santa Clara,CA

Summary

As a contract review and negotiation specialist for the past ten years, I have gained extensive experience in this field.

In my previous employment in the heavy industry (especially oil and gas), I was in charge of reviewing ITBs (Invitations To Bidder), drafting deviations, reviewing agent agreements and all other agreements associated with such projects. Furthermore, I was involved in claims and litigation/arbitration in overseas regions during the execution of those projects for which I handled contract review.

From 2019 to present, I have been responsible for the semiconductor industry, and specifically, the foundry business. I have mainly dealt with non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), development and supply agreements, and license agreements with overseas customers.
