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 would prefer to do so with existing infrastructure, resources, and support.

As our UK Partner, you would advise startup clients, develop the local practice, and help build a legal team.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have founded a company or worked closely with startups, understanding the fast-paced, hands-on nature of early-stage legal work. This is a leadership opportunity with ownership potential, supported by a proven firm.

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