Job Description:

StartupTechLaw is expanding into the UK and seeks a qualified lawyer with startup and corporate law experience to lead a new practice. This role is ideal for someone considering launching their own practice but prefers to start with established 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 to enhance efficiency and service quality.

There is no capital investment or financial contribution required from you. We provide the foundation so you can focus on building your practice without bearing the risk alone.

We are especially interested in candidates with startup experience or those who have founded a company, understanding the fast-paced, hands-on nature of early-stage legal work. This is not a typical employment role but an opportunity to lead and grow a practice with ownership potential, backed by a proven firm.

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

• Proven track record advising startups
• Ambition to work independently
