Description:

Job Overview:
We're looking for a business-minded Legal Counsel to join our legal team as a generalist, working cross-functionally across sales, operations, customer success, and commercial partnerships. This person will be the second in-house attorney on staff and will play a key role in building out a legal function that touches dissolution operations, commercial contracting, licensing, vendor management, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

This role goes beyond a traditional in-house counsel role. You'll be responsible for customer-facing legal communications, sales support, and deal-risk reviews while building toward broader coverage across the full business. You should feel comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment and exercising independent judgment on legal questions.

Key Responsibilities:

Provide practical, business-oriented legal advice to teams across the organization, including sales, operations, customer success, marketing, engineering and partnerships
Draft, review, and negotiate a range of commercial agreements, including licensing, vendor, and partner contracts
Advise the sales team on legal and regulatory questions arising in the customer acquisition process, including joining prospect and customer calls
Support customer-facing legal communications and escalations across the dissolution lifecycle
Conduct legal research and analysis to support expansion into new U.S. jurisdictions
Identify and assess legal risks across business initiatives and develop practical mitigation strategies
Help build and improve internal templates, playbooks, and processes that enable teams to move faster while managing risk
Review customer-facing and marketing materials for legal and regulatory compliance
Coordinate with outside counsel on specialized matters as needed
Take on additional projects and priorities as the business scales

Desired Skills & Qualifications

JD from an ABA-accredited law school; active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar
2-4 years of legal experience, ideally a mix of law firm and in-house
Strong commercial instincts: comfortable reviewing contracts, spotting risk, and advising business teams without over-lawyering
Excellent communicator who can translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-legal stakeholders
Detail-oriented with strong drafting skills
Comfortable operating independently in a fast-paced startup environment with limited supervision
Interest in or exposure to corporate dissolution, licensing or data privacy is a plus but not required
Prior experience in corporate transactions, commercial contracting, or general in-house practice is a plus but not required
