About us

We are building the premier AI-native law firm, currently in stealth. We've just closed our pre-seed round, backed by a prestigious VC. Powered by our technology, we combine elite legal talent with AI agents to deliver faster, more precise, and more reliable legal services.

The role: Founding Lawyer - Corporate/VC

You're the founding partner who builds and owns our corporate and venture practice. You run corporate and financing matters end to end, from incorporation and governance to funding rounds, equity and convertible instruments, secondaries and M&A, bringing the senior judgment that lets a deal go out the door with your name on it. As a founding partner, you shape how the practice runs, how the firm grows, and how AI does the heavy lifting while you do the signing-off.

What you'll do

  • Own corporate and VC matters from incorporation to closing as the signing-off partner.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate shareholders' agreements, articles of association, subscription and investment agreements, convertible instruments (SAFEs, convertible loans, BSA-AIR, BSPCE and ESOP), and M&A documentation.
  • Provide senior-level sign-off on deal structures and risk, building on AI-generated drafts.
  • Turn every matter into reusable platform assets: encoded playbooks, templates, and review checklists that compound the firm's edge.
  • Help shape the firm's direction, culture, and growth as a founding member of the partnership.

Qualifications and requirements

  • Qualified to practice as a lawyer.
  • Minimum 10 years of post-qualification experience in corporate law, M&A, and venture financing, with hands-on deal experience.
  • Strong drafting reflexes, a bias to action, and the standing to serve as the senior signing authority.
  • Based in Paris; hybrid considered, in-person strongly preferred.
