ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a high-ownership attorney role at a seed-stage AI-native legal tech company, sitting at the intersection of legal practice and product innovation. You'll serve as a primary attorney for clients — acting as an extension of their in-house legal teams — while also shaping how AI-assisted workflows evolve the delivery of legal services at scale. The role carries meaningful equity and a direct hand in defining the future of legal technology.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Review and negotiate commercial contracts, advising on product and privacy matters for fast-growing technology companies.
- Interpret contract terms and surface key obligations, risks, and anomalies clearly for clients.
- Operate internal AI-assisted tooling to streamline contract review and collaborate with product and engineering teams to improve platform accuracy and speed.
- Identify inefficiencies and patterns in the review process, then design and implement practical fixes.
- Standardize recurring contract types, build review playbooks, and establish quality standards across the team.
- Protect turnaround and SLA commitments while maintaining a high quality bar.
- Partner with operations to evolve how legal services are delivered as the company scales.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- J.D. and active California bar membership in good standing.
- 5–8 years of law practice with significant experience supporting technology companies.
- Prior in-house counsel or sole legal counsel experience (required).
- Strong expertise in corporate, commercial, product, and privacy law.
- Proven ability to interpret contracts, identify risk, and communicate clearly to business stakeholders.
- Experience building legal playbooks and standardizing contract review processes.
- Comfort with AI-assisted legal workflows, or genuine enthusiasm for legal technology adoption.
- Exposure to venture capital, emerging companies, or early-stage startup environments is a plus.
- Solid grounding in professional responsibility and legal ethics.
- Thrives in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments with a bias toward urgency and ownership.
