About Skybox Capital
Skybox Capital is a family office and private equity firm investing across the capital structure, with a focus on middle‑market private equity and incubating new businesses.
Our investments span multiple industries — including technology, e-commerce, real‑estate, and entertainment — with portfolio companies such as GoTickets, Leads IQ, and Magnolia Capital, among others. We also manage a growing network of global operations across North America, Israel, and Asia.
At Skybox, we believe in modern, technology‑driven decision making. We operate lean, leverage AI across functions, and empower our team to move quickly and think strategically.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking a General Counsel who will lead and modernize the legal function across the Skybox family of companies.
This is both a strategic and hands‑on role, ideal for an experienced attorney who combines traditional legal expertise with a deep understanding of how AI can transform the practice of law. You’ll use AI and specialized legal software to research, draft, and analyze — ensuring the team engages outside counsel only when necessary and always with clarity and focus.
You’ll oversee legal, HR, compliance, and governance across a portfolio that includes entities in the U.S., Israel, Canada, and other jurisdictions — working closely with leadership to anticipate and manage legal risk while supporting growth.
What You’ll Do
• Lead all legal and compliance functions for Skybox Capital and its portfolio companies
• Use AI tools and legal‑specific software (e.g., Harvey, CoCounsel, Spellbook, Casetext) to conduct research, draft contracts, and prepare analysis before engaging outside counsel
• Oversee HR legal compliance, supporting the Director of People and HR Coordinator
• Draft, review, and negotiate contracts and agreements across all operating companies
• Ensure state, federal, and international compliance, particularly for GoTickets, which operates across multiple U.S. jurisdictions
• Guide corporate governance and entity management across the Skybox portfolio
• Manage outside counsel strategically to ensure cost‑effective, targeted use of resources
• Advise leadership on employment law, data privacy, cybersecurity, and risk management
• Support strategic transactions, including investments, acquisitions, and divestitures
• Develop templates, policies, and scalable processes for legal and HR documentation
• Oversee compliance for international offices and offshore employees in Israel, Canada, India, and the Philippines
• Coordinate with outside counsel on real estate and asset management matters at Magnolia Capital
• Monitor and advise on manufacturing and supplier agreements in China, Vietnam, and other international jurisdictions, leveraging AI to streamline review and due diligence
Who You Are
• J.D. and active bar membership (U.S.)
• 8+ years of legal experience, ideally including in‑house experience with private equity, family offices, or multi‑entity organizations
• Demonstrated proficiency using AI in legal workflows — drafting, compliance, contract review, and research
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi‑jurisdictional legal environments
• Strong foundation in corporate, employment, and compliance law
• Skilled at balancing risk with business objectives and providing pragmatic guidance
• Experienced in managing outside counsel cost‑effectively
• Excellent communicator with the ability to translate legal language into clear business recommendations
• Comfortable in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial, and global environment
• Curious, tech‑forward, and constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency and insight through AI
Why Join Skybox
• Strategic Leadership:
Define and execute the legal strategy across a global investment platform
