We are a small, fast-moving team led by founder Tyler Chou. Our clients run real businesses, and they expect quick, clear, high-touch service. We expect the same from ourselves.

The role: Senior Paralegal

We're growing our legal team and hiring a part‑time, fully remote Senior Paralegal with 10+ years of experience to support client matters from intake to close: engagement letters, contract drafting, IP protection, content disputes and creator business deals.

You’ll work directly with our Chief of Staff, Head of Operations and legal team, taking on intake, drafting, research and corporate filing work so our attorneys can focus on legal drafting, redlining, strategy and client counsel.

• Entity work: prepare and file LLC and corporate formations, Statements of Information, EIN applications and annual compliance
• Contract drafting: prepare first drafts and redlines of brand deal, influencer, sponsorship, licensing, talent and NDA agreements for attorney review
• Contract review: summarize key terms, flag risks and check incoming agreements against client standards
• Intellectual property: run trademark clearance searches, prepare USPTO and U.S. Copyright Office filings, and docket IP deadlines
• Content protection: draft DMCA takedown notices and cease‑and‑desist letters, and document infringement and content leaks
• Deals: support creator M&A and asset sales with due diligence, data room organization and closing checklists
• Disputes: build evidence files, timelines and demand letter drafts, and coordinate with outside counsel
• Legal research: research FTC endorsement rules, platform terms of service, right of publicity and related issues
• Templates and process: maintain the clause library, agreement templates and legal team SOPs

What you bring

• 10+ years of paralegal experience, ideally in entertainment, media, IP or business/transactional law
• Paralegal certificate from an ABA‑approved program, or equivalent qualification (California applicants must meet Business and Professions Code §6450 requirements)
• Deep experience drafting and redlining entertainment and/or commercial agreements
• Hands‑on trademark and copyright filing experience (preferred)
• Experience with client intake, engagement letters and billing in legal practice management software (Clio preferred)
• Able to juggle multiple drafting assignments at once with tight turnarounds
• Excellent legal writing and attention to detail
• Discretion and sound judgment with confidential client information

Must have

• Experience in the entertainment, creator economy, influencer marketing, talent management or digital media

Nice to have

• Working knowledge of FTC influencer disclosure rules
• M&A or asset purchase transaction experience
• Comfort using AI‑assisted drafting and research tools
