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.
About the Role
We're looking for attorneys who have spent their careers going deep — not broad.
This role is for specialists: practitioners who have mastered one of the verticals below, built real expertise through years of client work, and are ready to put that knowledge to work in a new way.
You'll handle client matters in your field, and you'll also help build the institutional infrastructure that makes everyone around you sharper — reviewing and improving form agreements, developing precedent libraries, and training attorneys who benefit from what you know.
If you're the kind of lawyer who genuinely loves the craft of your specialty, keeps up with every regulatory development, and finds real satisfaction in teaching others what you've learned, this was built for you.
The Verticals
We are hiring for specialists in one (or more) of the following areas:
- Data Privacy & Security — GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, cross-border data transfers, privacy program counseling, DPAs, incident response
- Financial Regulatory — banking and lending regulation, payments, FinTech, broker-dealer, investment adviser, BSA/AML compliance
- Healthcare Regulatory — HIPAA, FDA, federal and state healthcare compliance, digital health, clinical research, reimbursement and coverage
- Employment Law — federal and state employment compliance, restrictive covenants, executive compensation, workplace investigations, HR counseling
Core Responsibilities
Client Work:
- Advise clients on matters within your specialty, providing guidance that reflects current law, real-world practice, and seasoned judgment
- Review and negotiate agreements with material regulatory or compliance dimensions
- Serve as a trusted subject matter resource for both clients and internal attorneys on questions in your field
Knowledge Development
- Review, revise, and improve form contracts and standard documents within your practice area
- Build and maintain precedent libraries that reflect current best practices
- Develop training materials and lead sessions for other attorneys who encounter your subject matter in the course of their broader work
- Contribute to internal knowledge databases with practical, usable guidance — not just legal citations
Qualifications/Skills
- J.D. from an accredited law school; active bar membership in good standing (relevant specialty certifications a plus)
- Deep, focused experience in one of the four verticals above — ideally with a track record that includes top-tier firm work, a leading in-house role, or a regulatory agency background
- Encyclopedic knowledge of your field, and the kind of current awareness that comes from genuinely caring about it
- Real enthusiasm for teaching and knowledge-sharing — you're not protective of what you know, you want to multiply it
- Comfortable working with attorneys across experience levels, from first-year associates to senior partners
- Clear, confident communicator who can translate regulatory complexity into practical guidance
Employment Options
- We recognize that the best specialists don't always fit a standard mold. This role is open to:
- Full-time employees seeking a primary position
- Part-time employees looking for meaningful, substantive work at reduced hours
- Contract arrangements for specialists who prefer to maintain an independent practice
Compensation is pro-rated for part-time arrangements. All engagement types are eligible for the same quality of work, access, and integration with our team.
Company Perks/Benefits for Full Time Employees:
- 401(k) with 5% employer match
- Health & dental insurance fully covered, with partial subsidies for dependents
- Annual state bar fees covered in up to two jurisdictions
- CLE stipend of up to $200 per year
- One‑time technology stipend of up to $3,000
- Backup care provided through Bright Horizons
- Quarterly team on‑sites
- Weekly lunch stipends
- Open to additional benefits that meaningfully support productivity and well‑being
All applicants applying for U.S. job openings must be legally authorized to work in the United States and are required to have U.S. residency at the time of application.
