The work

Commercial and technology transactions

You draft and negotiate the agreements our clients live on. Customer and reseller agreements. Master services agreements and statements of work. Software and technology licenses. Supply, manufacturing, and equipment purchase agreements. Data processing terms. Evaluation and development agreements.

You work directly with client business teams. A sales lead sends you a redline from a counterparty and you handle it end to end, including the call with the other side.

The other part

NDAs and the review service

You handle the harder NDA matters and the escalations from the review service. You also help maintain the playbook that drives it, because you see which positions hold and which ones fail in negotiation.

Day to day

What you will do

  • Draft, redline, and negotiate commercial and technology agreements to signature.
  • Take the counterparty call. Close the point rather than send another turn of the document.
  • Advise client business teams on risk in plain language, and give an answer rather than a list of considerations.
  • Build and maintain client templates and negotiation playbooks.
  • Handle escalated NDA matters and support the review service.
  • Support diligence in financings and acquisitions.
  • Spot the matters that belong with the responsible senior attorney and raise them early.
  • Keep accurate time records.

Who fits

Three or more years in practice.

Required

  • Three or more years in practice. At a law firm, an in-house legal department, or both.
  • A J.D. and an active bar license. California, or any other United States jurisdiction, in good standing.
  • Real negotiation experience. You have run agreements to signature yourself, not only marked up drafts for someone else to negotiate.
  • NDAs at volume. You know which positions matter and which ones waste a turn.
  • Technology transactions. Licensing, services, data, or intellectual property terms in commercial agreements.
  • Direct client communication. You write clearly, you answer the question asked, and you do not hedge.

Preferred

  • In-house experience at a startup or a growth-stage company.
  • Hardware, semiconductor, clean energy, medical device, or manufacturing sector work.
  • Supply chain or procurement agreements.
  • Experience with AI tools inside a legal workflow.
Worth saying plainly

You will carry your own matters from the first month. We do not have a training year, and we do not staff three lawyers on work that needs one.
