Corporate Attorney (EC/VC & Startup Experience Preferred)

Experience: 2+ years of experience
Hours: 1500 billable - 1800 billable hours but no set requirement + flexible
Compensation: $150k+

About the Role

We are seeking a sharp, business-minded Corporate Attorney with strong foundational experience in general corporate work and a preference for emerging companies, venture capital, and startup representation. This role is ideal for someone who wants meaningful responsibility, client-facing work, and the ability to grow into an equity partner quickly — sometimes within the first month of joining.

What You’ll Do

  • Advise startups, founders, and emerging companies on entity formation, governance, capitalization, and commercial matters.

  • Support and lead venture financings, SAFE/convertible note rounds, and related EC/VC transactions.

  • Draft, negotiate, and review commercial agreements, operational contracts, and corporate documents.

  • Provide strategic legal guidance that aligns with clients’ growth and scaling goals.

  • Work directly with the founding partner on high-impact client matters across innovative industries.

Ideal Background

  • 2+ years of experience in corporate/transactional work. (Bonus: BigLaw)

  • Experience with (or strong interest in) EC/VC, startup counseling, and early-stage companies.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset — willingness to build relationships and bring in business.

  • Strong drafting skills and ability to operate independently with partner support.

Why Join This Firm

  • 1500+ billable hours (extremely rare for corporate roles).

  • Direct exposure to companies working in quantum computing, AI, aerospace, and frontier technologies.

  • Ability to earn equity early — often within the first month.

  • 10-15% origination credit for any business you bring in.

  • Flexible schedule + meaningful, interesting work that moves beyond traditional corporate practice.
