Commercial Counsel

Company Description

Jurisphere is a legal AI startup that augments reviewing, researching, and drafting workflows. We’re trusted by 500+ organisations and backed by top venture capital funds, and are rebuilding how legal work gets done. As we scale, the single biggest lever is talent density. That is where you come in.

Role Description

We are looking for a senior US-qualified attorney to join Jurisphere as Commercial Counsel and serve as our principal US legal voice. This is a commercial role at its core. You will lead our GTM strategy end to end, own the most important customer and partner relationships, and operate at the executive leadership level alongside the founders. The ideal candidate is a commercially-minded attorney who has spent the last several years close to enterprise customers, knows how deals actually get done at US companies, and is energised by building relationships that drive growth.

You will also lead our US legal and regulatory strategy, manage the lawyers executing contract work on the Jurisphere platform, and feed customer insights directly into the product roadmap.

The role reports directly to the founders.

Minimum Qualifications

• Active member of a US State Bar in good standing
• 4 - 8 years of experience practising as an attorney, at a law firm or as in-house counsel
• Demonstrated track record of building and maintaining strong relationships with US enterprise customers, partners, and senior in-house legal leaders
• Comfort operating as a commercial, customer-facing lawyer rather than a purely internal advisor
• Strong background in enterprise contracting, including structuring and negotiating complex agreements
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience at a law firm or legaltech company with direct client origination or partnership-building responsibilities
• Exposure to AI, legaltech, or legal services businesses
• Track record of working cross-functionally with founders, commercial teams, and product in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment

Why this role?

You will be the first senior US hire at a company already serving 500+ organisations globally. The scope is broad and is suited for candidates with high agency: you will shape Jurisphere's US legal foundation, own our most important commercial relationships, and influence how the product gets built.
