Senior Counsel - Employment

The AI-native law firm built for fast-growing companies across healthcare, fintech, and deep tech. We are building a different kind of law firm — one where employment counsel sits at the intersection of sharp legal reasoning and purpose-built AI tooling. This role exists because our clients, from Series B startups to public fintechs and AI labs, need sophisticated employment advice that keeps pace with how they actually operate. You will design compensation structures, navigate high-stakes investigations, run reductions in force, and draft the equity and separation agreements that shape a company’s most sensitive moments. More than that, you will help define what an AI-augmented employment practice looks like: faster turnarounds, sharper pattern recognition, and fewer hours lost to the parts of the job a machine can handle. What we're looking for: 5–8 years of employment law experience, with meaningful time at a top‑tier law firm and ideally some in‑house or secondment exposure to tech or life sciences clients Deep fluency in California and New York employment law, including wage‑hour, leave management, restrictive covenants, and pay transparency regulations Comfortable drafting and negotiating executive employment agreements, equity award documentation, and separation instruments without relying on stale templates Experience running internal investigations and advising on sensitive terminations, reductions in force, and workforce restructuring Genuine curiosity about how language models and legal reasoning tools can reshape the practice of law — no engineering background expected, but a willingness to experiment is essential Must be based in the United States. #J-18808-Ljbffr
