Description:
At Strike Acceptance, we believe legal should be more than a support function—it should be a trusted business partner.We're a fast-growing auto finance company headquartered in Laguna Hills, California, helping customers secure reliable transportation while rebuilding or establishing their credit. Every day we make lending decisions that positively impact people's lives, and our legal team plays a critical role in helping our company grow responsibly while protecting our customers, our business, and our people.
We're looking for an ambitious, intellectually curious attorney who is excited to learn, eager to solve problems, and wants to build a long-term career in-house.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a recent law school graduate or attorney with 0–3 years of experience to gain broad exposure across nearly every area of corporate law while working directly with executive leadership.
If you're looking for a role where you'll do much more than review contracts, we'd love to meet you.

- Draft, review, negotiate, and manage a wide variety of commercial agreements including software licensing agreements, SaaS agreements, vendor contracts, service agreements, NDAs, professional services agreements, insurance contracts, and other business contracts.
