SENIOR COUNSEL – EMERGING COMPANIES

Remote (U.S.-based) | Central or Pacific time zones strongly preferred

-------------------------------------------------------------

COMPENSATION

Base: $200,000--$230,000

Total Compensation: Base + 15% performance bonus target + meaningful equity  + 401(k) match + comprehensive health insurance + parental leave

WHY THIS ROLE

No billable hours. That's the headline. This is an AI-native law firm operating on outcome-based pricing where experienced attorneys use modern AI workflows to do high-caliber emerging companies work without the hourly grind. You own matters end-to-end and work directly with founders from pre-seed through later-stage rounds — no handoffs, no supervision layer. On top of a strong base and a 15% performance bonus target, there's meaningful equity — genuine ownership in the firm, which is rare for any attorney role. If you're already using AI in your practice and want to help build what a modern law firm actually looks like, this is an early seat at that table.
