Associate Counsel

The Role

You'll support and accelerate Everlaw's contracting engine, helping manage deal volume while building out modern, AI-assisted legal workflows. Working closely with Commercial Counsel, you will review, redline, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements while acting as a responsive, business-minded partner to our Sales and Finance teams. This is a full-time, exempt position based in our Oakland, CA office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home on Tu/Fr.

• Review, redline, and negotiate customer-facing SaaS subscription agreements, order forms, NDAs, and statements of work using Everlaw's standard positions and playbooks.
• Review and negotiate inbound vendor and software licenses, professional services agreements, and procurement contracts.
• Apply, maintain, and update Everlaw's contract playbooks, fallback positions, and standard form agreements as our business and legal landscape evolve.
• Serve as a responsive legal partner to Sales and Finance, offering pragmatic advice on contract terms affecting revenue recognition, billing structures, and deal velocity.
• Thoughtfully integrate approved AI productivity tools into daily workflows to optimize contract review, issue spotting, drafting, and negotiation preparation.
• Answer day-to-day contract questions from internal stakeholders and keep pace with legal developments in SaaS, AI, data privacy, and cloud technologies.

You have 1–3 years of commercial contracting experience in-house at a technology company or at a law firm with a SaaS client focus, along with a J.D. and active state bar membership. You have hands-on experience negotiating critical terms like Limitations of Liability, Indemnification, IP Rights, and Data Security, plus experience with NDAs, DPAs, or BAAs. You produce clear, concise redlines and can calibrate your communication for legal, business, and technical audiences.

You are process-oriented, curious about AI legal tools, and thrive when managing multiple concurrent deal streams under tight timelines. You are authorized to work in the United States. Please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring U.S. employment visas for this role.

Bonus points Experience with Ironclad or a comparable CLM platform. Experience at a B2B SaaS or legal technology company. Experience supporting a sales team in a high-growth environment.
