Job Description:

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 ideal for someone considering launching their own practice, but who prefers to do so with infrastructure, resources, and support already in place.

As our UK Partner, you would 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.

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

We are especially interested in candidates who have founded a company or worked closely with startups and understand the fast-paced, hands-on nature of early-stage legal work. This is not a typical employment role—it’s an opportunity to lead and grow a practice with ownership potential, supported by a proven firm.

If you’re ready to build something meaningful with an experienced legal team backing you, we’d like to hear from you.

Qualifications

• Experience in Startup and Corporate Law
• Proven track record of advising startups
• Entrepreneurial mindset and desire to work independently
• Experience with SEIS/EIS funding schemes and UK early-stage investments
• Excellent contract drafting and negotiation skills
• Ability to work independently and remotely
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
• Detail-oriented and highly organized
• Business acumen and understanding of the startup ecosystem
• Qualified solicitor in the UK
