  • Startup in-house commercial counsel experience, ideally in a high-volume environment at a growth-stage company.

  • Hands-on experience across SaaS agreements, MSAs, NDAs, DPAs, vendor deals, and partnership or channel contracts.

  • Strong knowledge of market terms involving liability caps, indemnity, intellectual property, data, and termination.

  • Sound business judgment, clear communication, and a practical approach to negotiation and client advice.

  • Experience using AI tools in legal practice and interest in translating legal judgment into workflows.

  • Juris Doctor degree and active membership in good standing with a U.S. state bar. California or New York admission is preferred.
