About this role

We are looking for an Associate Commercial Counsel with 3-5 years of experience to join a fast-growing, AI-native law firm that's reimagining how commercial contract work gets done. You'll draft, review, and negotiate technology agreements at high volume — without billable hours - while contributing to the product and processes that make this new model possible.

What will you be doing?

Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a high volume of SaaS, vendor, licensing, and commercial technology agreements end to end

Using AI-native legal tools daily to accelerate drafting, review, and issue-spotting while maintaining quality

Advising clients directly on commercial risk and contract strategy with clear, plain-language communication

Contributing to knowledge management, playbooks, and product feedback to help scale the firm's capabilities

Working shift-based coverage (preference for Central or Pacific time zones) to support client needs across business hours

Key Requirements

JD from an accredited law school (T-14 preferred) with active U.S. bar membership in good standing

3-5 years of experience in commercial contracts, technology transactions, or another drafting-heavy practice area (BigLaw or startup background preferred)

Genuine interest in and current use of AI tools in legal practice — not theoretical, but hands-on

Strong client-facing demeanor — warm, articulate, and comfortable advising business stakeholders directly

Scrappy, builder mindset — excited to contribute beyond just turning contracts and willing to wear multiple hats at a startup

What happens next

Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

A meeting lands on your calendar

When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.

Culture & values

Remote-friendly work environment.

There are meaningful ownership opportunities for the people doing the work.

There is no billable hours model.

Attorneys are empowered to focus on judgment, negotiation, and advising clients rather than routine tasks.

The firm operates like a startup with modern tooling and remote-friendly work.
