Job Description

About The Firm

This premier boutique firm specializes in cutting-edge technology law. Founded in 2016 by refugees from top law firms, they've built a practice that proves exceptional legal work doesn't require sacrificing quality of life.

Their client roster is extraordinary - from industry leaders and billionaire entrepreneurs to ambitious startups literally building tomorrow's technologies. While working across emerging tech sectors, they've earned an international reputation specifically for their pioneering work in blockchain.

Role Overview

As an associate, you'll work directly with partners and senior associates to develop the entrepreneurial judgment needed to represent innovative technology companies. Rather than being asked to "stay in your lane," you'll build a broad skill set that forward-thinking clients truly value and depend on.

At this firm, you will:

  • Take a leading role in negotiating, drafting, and closing SAFE, convertible note, preferred stock (NVCA) and token-based financings
  • Oversee paralegals in forming legal entities across domestic and international contexts
  • Provide crucial support to founders and C-Suite executives running high-growth tech companies, including:
  • Reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements
  • Preparing corporate governance materials (board documents, minutes, consents)
  • Managing company cap tables
  • Research evolving legal and regulatory developments affecting blockchain and other emerging technologies
  • Guide inventors and engineers in designing breakthrough products, balancing product-market fit with legal risk mitigation around securities, commodities, sanctions, money transmission, and consumer protection
  • Create content that establishes your thought leadership and personal brand in the tech law space

Qualifications

  • JD from an accredited law school
  • Active license to practice in at least one U.S. state
  • 1-3 years' experience in an ECVC group at a Vault 100 firm (non-negotiable)
  • Blockchain experience preferred; genuine interest in blockchain required
  • Emotional intelligence to pursue excellence while creating thoughtful client experiences

Benefits

  • Competitive salary: $147,000-$182,000
  • Remarkably humane 1,200 billable hour target
  • Substantial bonus potential.
  • True remote work flexibility
  • 401(k) matching up to 5% of salary
  • Comprehensive healthcare (100% for employees, 50% for dependents)
  • Unlimited PTO

Transparent & Objective Bonus Structure

This firm rewards both individual contributions and collective success. Exceeding the 1,200-hour baseline or contributing to an exceptional firm year directly increases your compensation.

  • Exceeding minimum billable hours significantly boosts bonus potential through a flexible structure that rewards busy periods without penalizing slower times
  • Completely transparent calculations allow you to track potential bonuses in real-time
  • Performance-based annual bonuses can reach up to 40% of your base salary

This opportunity represents a rare chance to advance your legal career at a firm that genuinely values both exceptional work and quality of life.
