StartupTechLaw is expanding into the UK and is seeking a qualified lawyer with experience in startup and corporate law to lead the effort. This role is suitable for someone considering launching their own practice but prefers to do so with existing infrastructure, resources, and support.

As our UK Partner, you will advise startup clients, develop the local practice, and help build a legal team. We will support you with client referrals, operational support, legal oversight, and access to proprietary legal AI tools—designed to increase efficiency and deliver high-quality service.

If you're ready to build something meaningful with an experienced legal team backing you, we want to hear from you.
