Client Work

• Drafting start-up documents for LLCs, C-corporations, and S-corporations.
• Managing cap tables and equity plans, including drafting plan documents and processing 83(b) election filings (including a strong understanding as to the differences between stock and option grants).
• Supporting fundraising transactions: preparing documents, coordinating DocuSign signatures, filing in various jurisdictions, blue sky reviews and creating closing documents.
• Assisting with acquisitions: drafting documents, managing filings, and organizing closing binders.
• Handling corporate filings, like new entity filings, charter amendments and annual reports.
• Researching client inquiries and providing solutions.

Operational Support

• Attending team meetings and identifying best practices.
• Drafting, updating and maintaining forms for use with startup companies.
• Maintaining and organizing documents and folder systems.
• Documenting operational processes for supporting clients.

• Title: Corporate Paralegal
• Hours: Part-time, approximately 15-20 billable hours per week (with room to grow).
• Pay: $50/hour or commensurate with experience
• Location: Fully remote. Ideally, you’re in the Boston area for occasional in-person collaboration, but we’re open to candidates in other locations.
