- 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.
- Operationalize and systematize a go-to-market motion.
- Support day-to-day employment and HR matters and help maintain employment templates, policies, and handbooks.
- 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.

- Exceptional judgment, discretion, and ownership.
- Pragmatic and business-minded approach.
- Highly organized and systems-oriented with a low-ego, action-oriented mindset.
- Exposure to startup equity, employment matters, IP, data privacy, or venture financings is a plus.
- Familiarity with law firm operations or professional-services go-to-market is a plus.
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI and its impact on legal services is a plus.
