About Us
We’re building the legal infrastructure modern startups need — combining intelligent automation with on-demand legal expertise. Our AI-native platform eliminates outdated workflows across contract review, compliance, HR legal, SOC 2 readiness, and fundraising – delivering fast, affordable, and risk-aware legal solutions for startups.
Our mission: Create the first vertically integrated, tech-powered law firm designed from the ground up for scale — AI for automation, lawyers for judgment, and SaaS for predictable pricing.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Chief Legal Officer (CLO) / Partner to co-lead the legal arm of this venture. This is a foundational role in building a next-generation legal business that merges cutting-edge technology with high-quality legal services for startups.
As CLO, you’ll oversee legal service delivery, design scalable workflows, and ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions — while shaping the strategic direction of our hybrid SaaS + legal model. You’ll work hand-in-hand with the founding team to transform how legal support is delivered to high-growth companies.

Help shape the pricing and delivery model for legal services integrated with our SaaS product.
