The law firm for companies that need senior counsel without a traditional firm. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We’re hiring an M&A and emerging companies attorney to run deals for our growing roster of startup clients—from pre-seed and later-stage rounds through acquisition and other exits. This is an execution-focused role. You’ll own matters start to finish, work directly with founders, investors, management teams, and acquirers, and use AI-native workflows to move faster and more consistently than you could at a traditional firm.
What they're looking for
- You’ve handled enough financings to know what “market” means at each stage and can move through a deal without hand-holding
- Clear, direct communicator. Founders and investors trust you because you tell them what matters and skip what doesn’t
- Admitted to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and in good standing
