The full description
We are looking for a Senior Commercial Counsel with 8+ years of experience who is genuinely exceptional at commercial contracts work and excited about using AI to reshape how legal services are delivered. You'll join an AI-native law firm that operates like a startup where you can do high-caliber legal work, contribute to building innovative legal products, and log off at the end of the day feeling good about what you accomplished.
What will you be doing?
- Owning complex commercial transactions end-to-end (SaaS, technology agreements, vendor/partner agreements, IP licenses) with a focus on speed and quality
- Leveraging AI-native tools as a force multiplier to compress timelines and raise work product quality
- Contributing to product development by giving feedback, building playbooks, and helping scale your expertise across the firm
- Advising a range of clients from pre-seed founders to public companies on commercial risk and contract strategy
- Working shift-based coverage (with preference for Central/Pacific time zones) to ensure client needs are met efficiently
Key Requirements
- J.D. from an accredited law school with active U.S. bar membership in good standing
- 8+ years of strong commercial contracts experience, ideally at a top-tier firm or advising technology/high-growth companies
- Currently using AI tools in legal practice (not theoretically—actively leveraging legal tech today)
- Strong client-facing demeanor- warm, articulate, and able to correspond with clients in a welcoming, professional way
- Builder mindset with scrappiness to thrive in a startup environment and contribute beyond core legal work
