[Hiring] Corporate Counsel @Acquisition.com

Role Description

The Corporate Counsel is Acquisition.com's day-to-day, first-line legal resource and the General Counsel's primary force multiplier. This person answers most matters on their own, directs the paralegal and legal operations specialist to keep intake and contracts moving, and escalates to the General Counsel immediately when a matter calls for it. This is a hands-on, high-volume role.

  • Drafts, reviews, and negotiates agreements across the business, including vendor contracts, MSAs, NDAs, SOWs, sponsorship and partnership agreements, and event and venue contracts.

• Cross-Functional Partnership:
  • Serves as the standing legal contact for internal teams.

  • Reviews people operations forms, policies, and processes.
