Job Description

You're stuck reviewing NDAs for a Fortune 500 legal department. Or worse—you're the third associate on a patent litigation that'll settle before you ever see a courtroom.

You should be negotiating license deals for the next unicorn, structuring IP transactions for Series C startups, and advising founders on distribution agreements that will define their market strategy—not drowning in discovery or babysitting diligence checklists.

You're ready to be the commercial lawyer entrepreneurs call when the deal matters, not just another transactional cog.

A top tier Silicon Valley-founded firm is expanding its legendary Technology Transactions practice to meet explosive demand from high-growth tech companies, from seed-stage startups to publicly traded innovators.

This isn't a backfill—it's a strategic build out of a practice that structures the deals behind the companies reshaping every industry.

What You'll Actually Do:

  • Draft and negotiate IP licenses, development agreements, partnerships, and distribution deals for cutting-edge tech companies
  • Handle commercial transactions for AI, SaaS, biotech, fintech, and hardware companies at every growth stage
  • Work on the IP side of M&A, IPOs, venture financings, and other multi-disciplinary deals
  • Advise founders and C-suite executives directly (not through three layers of senior associates)
  • Build lasting client relationships with companies you'll read about in TechCrunch and the WSJ
  • Shape deals that define markets, not just paper them

What You Bring:

  • 3-6 years of intellectual property transactional experience (licensing, commercial agreements, tech deals)
  • Strong interest in building a career focused on IP and commercial transactions (not litigation)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with fast-moving, high-stakes environments
  • Excellent drafting and negotiation skills
  • Strong academic credentials
  • Technical or science background is a plus, but not required

What You Get:

  • Elite Compensation: Cravath scale pay + bonus
  • Real Tech Exposure: Work with the most innovative companies in the world, from garage startups to market leaders
  • Entrepreneurial Culture: Self-motivated lawyers thrive here—bureaucracy doesn't
  • Career Acceleration: Build a book of business and relationships that last beyond any single deal

The Catch:

This practice moves at startup speed. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity, quick turnarounds, and clients who are building something that's never been done before. If you need predictable 9-5 hours and perfectly defined projects, this isn't it.

But if you want to work on deals that actually matter—for companies that are defining the future—this is your shot.

Apply Now: DM me directly or send your resume confidentially to srushing@laterallink.com. All inquiries handled with complete discretion.
