Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Our customer, an innovative legal tech company, is seeking two experienced lawyers to support the development of cutting-edge contract analysis tools. The company, currently with approximately 100 employees, is building AI-driven products designed to help legal teams edit complex contracts and understand the downstream impact of those changes. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of legal technology supporting transactional lawyers.

About the Role:

You will collaborate closely with the product team to develop legal intelligence features, especially those that identify interdependencies and structural impacts within long-form contracts. Your insights will help evaluate and improve existing tools and contribute to the evolution of an AI-first contract editing platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze complex contracts (e.g., credit agreements, SPAs) to identify and map interdependencies between clauses, definitions, schedules, etc.
• Work with product managers and developers to refine cause-effect features (e.g., "change clause 27.3, then check Schedule 4 and the definition of ‘N’")
• Provide legal insights on how changes to clauses affect the structure and intent of entire documents.
• Assess outputs from existing product features and offer feedback on accuracy and completeness.
• Assist in designing innovative tools for contract editing and risk management.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 5–6 years PQE, preferably from a top-tier law firm or in-house legal department.
• Senior Associate level – experienced in managing deals with partners.
• Strong background in corporate and finance law (M&A, lending, credit facilities, etc.).
• Ability to understand and explain the knock-on effects of structural changes (e.g., removing a revolving facility or a letter of credit).
• Curious, proactive, and interested in legal tech innovations.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and in a collaborative, non-hierarchical environment.
• Experience with sample/test contracts to help develop legal tech products.
• Bonus: familiarity with IP law is useful, but the main focus is on transactional experience.

Work Structure & Flexibility:

• Remote, project-based work with flexible hours.
• Open to hourly or other engagement models based on mutual agreement.
• The initial focus will be on evaluating current product functionality, with potential for ongoing collaboration.
