About the role
AngelList is hiring a Legal Counsel to own ordinary-course corporate work and help resolve the legal questions that arise across our Funds business. You’ll handle commercial contract reviews, board consents, and equity grants while joining the legal team’s reactive rotation - spanning investor consents, side letters, portfolio-company issues, secondary transactions, and regulatory questions.
What they're looking for
- Corporate transactional capability. You can take ownership of commercial contract reviews and ordinary-course corporate matters
- An AI-forward approach to legal work. You are comfortable using AI tools, checking their output, and distinguishing work that can be automated from decisions that require a lawyer
- Comfort with ambiguity and reactive work. You can take ownership when the facts are incomplete, the issue is time-sensitive, or there is no existing playbook, and you know when to make a judgment call versus escalate
- A practical, cross-functional approach. You can collaborate with internal teams to develop solutions that appropriately balance legal risk and business realities
- An appetite for hands-on execution. You want to handle recurring corporate work and a steady flow of time-sensitive legal matters—not only novel transactions or strategic initiatives
More about this role
Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.
The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.
Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.
