About this Role
We are looking for a Commercial Counsel with 5-8 years of experience to own commercial contracting for a fast-growing book of startup clients. You'll be an early attorney hire at a platform that combines software and lawyers to run startup legal end-to-end - backed by a16z and Tusk Ventures, already serving 50+ companies with seven-figure revenue. This is a chance to define how commercial legal gets delivered and scale the practice from the ground up.
What you need
- 5-8 years of commercial contracts experience, with meaningful in-house time at a smaller, scrappier company (ideally Series B to pre-IPO stage)
- Deep familiarity with the full range of agreements a growing software company lives on
- Strong business judgment: able to identify what matters in a deal, give commercially reasonable advice, and know when to fight vs. When to sign and move on
- Approachable, client-friendly demeanor - someone founders feel comfortable picking up the phone to call
- Active bar membership in good standing in a US jurisdiction
What will you be doing?
Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements (MSAs, SaaS contracts, NDAs, DPAs, vendor deals, and more) - this will be 50-70% of your day-to-day
Advising founders and in-house teams directly via Slack and calls, making practical hold-or-give decisions calibrated to each company's stage and risk appetite
Owning client relationships as their go-to commercial counsel, hitting turnaround commitments and building trust
Codifying your legal judgment into the platform - turning negotiation positions, fallback terms, and review standards into playbooks and AI workflows
Helping build and shape the commercial practice, including onboarding future attorneys and contributing to product development
