What sets us apart? It's not just the tech (though it's best-in-class). It's the people, the purpose, and the passion behind everything we do. We’re a team of builders, thinkers, and doers who believe that great companies are defined by the stories they tell and the experiences they create—internally and externally. We bring deep industry expertise, a collaborative spirit, and a commitment to innovation as we reshape what’s possible in wealth management. 
As we grow, we’re looking for teammates who are ready to roll up their sleeves, think big, and help elevate our brand in a way that reflects the bold ambitions we have for our company and the clients we serve. 
Join us, and be part of a company that's not only moving fast—but making it count.

      • Vendor agreements
      • SaaS agreements
      • Professional services agreements
      • Basic customer contracts
    • Identify legal risk, escalate issues appropriately, and propose business-practical alternatives.
    • Manage contract workflows and collaborate with Sales, Finance, Procurement, and Ops.
  • Legal Research & Issue Spotting
    • Conduct targeted legal research on discrete questions (statutory, regulatory, contractual).
    • Summarize findings in clear, decision-oriented formats (not law-review memos).
    • Flag regulatory or compliance issues early to senior counsel.
  • Corporate & Compliance Support
    • Assist with: Corporate governance documentation, board and committee materials, policy drafting and updates, compliance training materials
    • Support internal audits, regulatory inquiries, and basic investigations under supervision.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership
    • Serve as a first-line legal contact for routine questions from internal stakeholders.
    • Translate legal concepts into plain-English guidance.
    • Maintain responsiveness and service orientation without compromising risk posture.
  • Legal Operations & Process
    • Maintain contract templates and playbooks.
    • Help improve legal workflows, intake systems, and matter tracking.
    • Coordinate with outside counsel on discrete matters (research, drafting, document collection).

What You Bring to the Table:  

  • Strong grounding in: contract law, commercial transactions, basic corporate law concepts
  • Ability to read contracts holistically, not clause-by-clause in isolation.
  • Can independently draft: NDAs, basic commercial agreements, amendments and addenda
  • Can redline efficiently and explain why a change matters.
  • Knows the difference between: Risk worth flagging vs. risk worth escalating, legal theory vs. business reality
  • Understands that “no” is rarely the final answer.
  • Efficient legal research using primary sources.
  • Produces concise, actionable summaries (1–2 pages, bullets, executive framing).
  • Business Mindset: Thinks like an in-house advisor, not an academic or litigator. Understands company goals, timelines, and commercial pressures.
  • Clear, confident written and verbal communicator.
  • Can explain legal issues to non-lawyers without condescension or hedging.


Why You’ll Love Working Here: 

It’s not just about work—it’s about building a career and enjoying the ride! Here’s what you can expect:

We believe in recognizing and rewarding performance. Our compensation package includes competitive base salaries, annual performance-based bonuses, and the chance to share in the equity value you and your colleagues create during your time with the company.
