Job description
About Us
We are an AI-native law firm built to deliver high-quality commercial contract work faster and more predictably than traditional firms. We combine experienced, U.S.-barred attorneys with AI-native workflows to handle drafting, review, and negotiation end to end—without billable hours, bloated process, or junior handoffs.
We operate like a startup because we are one. That means modern tooling, outcome-based pricing, remote-friendly work, and meaningful ownership for the people doing the work. By using AI to make the routine parts of contracting effortless, we give our attorneys the space to focus on judgment, negotiation, and advising clients on what actually matters.
We’re starting with commercial contracts for growing companies and building a modern law firm where great lawyers can do their best work—and help reshape how legal services are delivered.
Core Responsibilities
- Own complex commercial transactions end-to-end, including technology agreements, SaaS and enterprise contracts, vendor and partner agreements, and IP licenses.
- Negotiate efficiently and to a close. You know where the real risks are, which battles are worth fighting, and how to get deals done without unnecessary back-and-forth.
- Leverage AI tools as a genuine force multiplier. You're already a power-user of legal tech, using it to raise the quality of your work and compress timelines.
- Advise internal stakeholders on commercial risk, contract strategy, and deal structure with clarity and appropriate speed. You know your audience and calibrate accordingly.
- Contribute beyond your lane. Whether it's flagging a product gap, proposing a better process, or raising your hand to lead a new workstream — we value attorneys who bring a "yes, and" orientation to the work.
Qualifications/Skills
Background & Experience:
- J.D. from an accredited law school; active bar membership in good standing
- 8+ years of experience with a strong commercial contracts practice, or fewer years if you can make a compelling case
- Deep familiarity with technology transactions, IP licensing, and SaaS agreements
- Experience in or advising high-growth technology or emerging companies is preferred
How You Work:
- You are fast and good
- You use AI tools in your practice today, not theoretically
- You produce clean, sophisticated work product
- You communicate directly: clear recommendations, appropriate caveats, no filler
- You're self-directed and don't need hand-holding, but you collaborate well and know when to loop people in
Bonus Points If:
- You've built or improved a legal intake, playbook, or contracting process from scratch
- You have a vertical or subject matter you'd love to grow or lead
- You've mentored junior attorneys or contributed to team development in a meaningful way
