About the role

We are seeing incredible demand for our product. The market is open for us to capture and emerge as the winners in this new category. This is a rare chance to help define how technology transforms the delivery of legal services over the next decade.

What they're looking for

  • You're an attorney who thrives as a trusted partner to fast-moving companies. You've spent years advising on commercial transactions, ideally with real exposure to product, privacy, and the day-to-day legal grind
  • You move fast, give practical advice, and catch the details everyone else misses. You lead with empathy and responsiveness, take time to understand what the customer is trying to accomplish, and optimize for practical outcomes — not abstract legal perfection
  • We're especially excited to meet attorneys who've been the sole counsel or first legal hire somewhere. You're comfortable wearing multiple hats and balancing competing priorities across the legal function
  • J.D. and active bar membership in good standing
  • 5-8 years of experience practicing law, with significant experience supporting technology companies, experience as in-house counsel or as a sole legal counsel is required
  • Specialize in commercial, product, and privacy law
More about this role

At Arceus, we believe the way companies receive legal support is overdue for reinvention.

Legal teams are expected to move faster than ever across commercial, product, privacy, procurement, and operational work, but the tools and delivery models available to them haven't kept pace.

We're building the legal infrastructure layer for modern companies — combining experienced attorneys with intelligent technology to deliver high-quality legal services at the speed growing businesses demand.

Our attorneys don't just practice law; they shape the systems, playbooks, and technology that make every engagement better than the last, turning legal expertise into scalable workflows that redefine how legal work gets done.

If you're excited to help build the future of legal services across the breadth of an in-house legal function, we'd love to meet you.
