About the Role
As Junior Counsel, you will work directly with and report to Norm's Head of Legal and Managing Partner of Norm Law, LLP, and closely collaborate with the Head of Norm Law Operations. This is a generalist role supporting the full legal function at Norm Ai and the legal and operational needs of Norm Law, spanning corporate, commercial, employment, IP, and data security, as well as the business and go-to-market operations of an AI-native law firm. This role is designed for an ambitious lawyer who wants broad practice-area coverage and thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment. You will sit at the intersection of law and AI, see firsthand how the future of legal practice is being built, take on meaningful responsibility early, and grow into a trusted right hand to the Head of Legal. Success requires excellent judgment, exceptional organization, discretion with sensitive matters, and the range and curiosity to move fluidly across legal disciplines and between legal and business problems.
Responsibilities
- Support the company's corporate and governance needs, including board and stockholder consents, resolutions, and other entity matters.
- Help administer equity and maintain the cap table, and keep corporate records and filings in order across the company and its subsidiaries.
- Develop a working understanding of the governance and relationship between Norm Ai and Norm Law and work with Norm Law operations to help administer it effectively.
- Draft and review commercial agreements (NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, vendor contracts) and build repeatable templates and playbooks.
- Review engagement letters and client proposals and support client intake for Norm Law.
- Help operationalize and systematize a go-to-market motion as an ongoing part of the role.
- Support day-to-day employment and HR matters and help maintain employment templates, policies, and handbooks as the team scales, with an eye to multi-state and multi-jurisdiction compliance.
- Manage IP ownership, assignment, and protection, and help safeguard the company's confidential information and trade secrets.
- Support data privacy and security compliance, including customer and vendor data terms, privacy policies, and evolving regulatory requirements.
- Coordinate with outside counsel, prepare materials, and learn when matters should be escalated.
- Build the legal function's infrastructure — matter tracking, templates, and approval workflows.
- Partner cross-functionally with leadership, Operations, People/Talent, and the Norm Law team to support the business.
Requirements
- JD and barred in at least one state (NY preferred).
- 2–3 years of experience at a top-tier law firm and / or in-house at a high-growth company.
- A generalist by inclination, meaning you want broad coverage across corporate, commercial, employment, IP, and data privacy / security rather than a single area of practice.
- Strong corporate / transactional foundation, with the range and curiosity to pick up adjacent areas quickly.
- Exceptional judgment, discretion, and ownership; you will need to be trusted with sensitive corporate, personnel, and client matters.
- Pragmatic and business-minded; you find the path to “yes” with appropriate guardrails and are comfortable supporting a commercial / GTM function, not just providing legal review.
- Highly organized and systems-oriented, with a low-ego, action-oriented mindset and no task too big or too small.
- Exposure to startup equity, employment matters, IP, data privacy, or venture financings.
- Familiarity with law firm operations or professional-services go-to-market.
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI and what it means for the future of legal services.
