Job description

Overview

We started Biztech Lawyers to provide our clients with the service they need, wherever and whatever that may be. It's a bold statement for a boutique firm with ambitious and innovative clients. We already have a talented team in 5 countries on 4 continents, and we're still growing. We are a tech‑centric business law firm – think AI, FinTech, Robotics, IoT, AdTech/MarTech, Healthtech, CleanTech, BioTech, etc. – working with some of the leading companies in their fields as well as disruptors. Our clients include startups, scale‑ups, established corporates, private equity firms, fund managers and angel and venture capital investors. Most importantly, we are fiercely committed to creating an awesome team environment for both personal and professional achievement. This is your career, and our aim is to supercharge it through the people, the work, and the programs that fuel who we are.

Partner Role

We are actively seeking a seasoned Partner to help lead our US practice. You will work very closely with the Managing Director – Americas, attending to all of the same matters and taking on as much client‑facing responsibility as capable. This role is ideal for a business‑savvy legal professional eager to work closely with international founders, investors, and innovators, providing both strategic and technical legal counsel. We are open to someone based in a major US metro who can work independently and is open to occasional travel. If you crave a challenge within a dynamic, remote‑first environment and want to collaborate with a global network of colleagues who live and breathe tech, this is your opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted legal and strategic advisor to investors, entrepreneurs and technology‑focused businesses across corporate transactions, M&A, regulatory compliance, venture capital, debt financing and complex commercial agreements.
• Drive business development for the firm in the US. For us, business development means using your network, being actively engaged in the start‑up community, and thinking about what’s next for your current clients.
• Grow and mentor a team of talented lawyers servicing clients across our core solutions: Corporate, Commercial, Cyber & Data Privacy, Litigation, IP Protection, and Financing.
• Find creative and innovative solutions to client challenges, activating real growth across all facets of technology law.
• Act as an external General Counsel for select clients, advising on capital raises, HR structuring, and corporate governance matters.
• Take ownership of key client relationships and matters.
• Embrace complex problem‑solving, proactively driving meaningful results.
• Cultivate productive relationships internally and externally.
• Provide pragmatic, actionable legal advice, fostering collaboration within our diverse global team.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of post‑qualification experience (PQE) as a U.S.‑qualified lawyer/attorney.
• Generalist with passion for the diverse challenges faced by tech clients and deep expertise in one or more of the following areas: Corporate, Commercial, Cyber & Data Privacy, IP, or Financing.
• Dual qualification in another jurisdiction is a plus.
• Experience from both high‑level external legal service (e.g., top‑tier law or specialised boutique firms) and in‑house roles, with a robust professional network.
• Strong critical, intellectually curious, and highly resourceful problem‑solver.
• Proficient in understanding and integrating emerging technologies, particularly AI, into legal practice to enhance client solutions and firm efficiency.
• Excellent communicator who connects authentically with startup/scale‑up founders and C‑suite teams, understanding their unique challenges.
• Creative thinker who can find pragmatic solutions even with incomplete information.
• Proficient at breaking down complexity and developing logical, actionable strategies.
• Self‑starter, comfortable working independently, taking ownership, and driving results.
• Excellent organisational and time‑management skills, valuing independence.
• Venturous, pioneering spirit ready to help lay the foundations for our success in the United States.

Benefits & Compensation

Competitive compensation with both a bonus package and profit‑share program. Benefits from day one (health, dental, life, 401(k), progressive PTO). Flexible work arrangements, including remote work from home or a co‑working space, are available to support a balanced work‑life setup. The position is open to remote working at Partner level with occasional travel required.
