About this role
What we're looking for:
We are looking for a Corporate / ECVC Associate with 2-6 years of experience to serve as the primary corporate counsel for a squad of venture-backed startup clients at Virgil - a bootstrapped law firm founded by Eric Ries and Jeremy Howard that combines full-stack legal with back-office services. You'll work directly with founders from day one, own client relationships end-to-end, and help build the systems and culture of a fast-growing firm that's adding 20% MoM with zero marketing spend.
What will you be doing?
• Serving as the go-to ECVC lawyer within a dedicated squad - handling board consents, equity grants, hiring/firing, and day-to-day corporate questions for startup clients (pre-seed through Series B)
• Drafting and reviewing corporate governance documents, SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced round financing docs for Delaware C-Corps and PBCs
• Interfacing directly with founders daily - answering unlimited questions over email and calls as part of Virgil's subscription model
• Delegating to and managing paralegals, providing sufficient context so work flows smoothly downstream
• Collaborating with engineers and non-lawyer teammates to refine internal tools and workflows - everyone is part product manager here
Key Requirements
• 2-6 years post-JD with real ECVC/startup corporate experience (Big Law, in-house at a startup, or solo practice all work - juniors must have at least some ECVC exposure)
• Breadth of experience across multiple clients and industries - not concentrated on a single major client
• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission
• Genuine excitement about building a firm from the ground up - not just looking for a remote job
• Comfort with AI tools and technology; ideally already using AI in your legal practice or personal life
