About the role
- Serve as outside general counsel to early-stage and growth companies: triage day-to-day legal questions, spot issues, and deliver practical, business-minded guidance.
- Form and structure new entities (DE C-corps/LLCs, holding/operating companies), draft founder docs (IP assignment, vesting, ROFR/Co-Sale), and set up cap tables (e.g., Carta) from day one.
- Lead venture financings end-to-end (pre-seed to Series B+): draft/negotiate SAFEs and convertible notes, NVCA equity rounds, term sheets, stock purchase agreements, investor rights/ROFR/Co-Sale, voting agreements, and ancillary closing deliverables.
- Manage debt transactions for venture-backed companies: review term sheets, negotiate loan and security agreements, warrants, intercreditor/subordination arrangements, and coordinate perfection/filings.
- Own closing execution: run diligence, build and track closing checklists, coordinate signatures, manage data rooms, and deliver clean, on-time closings.
- Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts (SaaS subscriptions, MSAs/SOWs, DPAs, NDAs, vendor and partnership agreements) with attention to data, IP, and risk allocation.
- Advise on corporate governance and compliance: board and stockholder consents, charter/bylaw updates, equity plan administration, 409A, insider matters, and ongoing minute-book hygiene.
- Proactively manage projects and client communications across time zones in a largely remote-first environment, balancing responsiveness with thoughtful, high-quality work.
Requirements
- Strong academic credentials including a J.D. from a top law school.
- Membership in the New York state bar is required.
- 2+ years of experience with a top national law firm or in-house with a technology company.
- Strong project management, communication and analytical skills are a must, as are strong communications skills (oral and written).
- Ability to work independently but remain connected in a remote work environment is critical if the attorney works remotely from other team members.
