Job Description:
Billables stink. Live your best lawyering life with CB
Insights.
The CB Insights legal team needs an associate attorney, with 1-3
years corporate experience (meaning we want you to have at least
begun the process of specializing in transactional work -
corporate, governance, tech transactions, etc.), although we will
consider others with interesting or compelling background
experience.
Are you a junior attorney at a decently sized firm who loves
lawyering but not the billing in 6-minute increments part? (If you
are just SICK of people asking if you've ever watched the show
"Suits," that is a plus).
Or perhaps you are currently languishing in-house for a
hierarchical department that promised a seat at the table, but in
reality, it's just another law firm role?
You must be organized, in fact, obsessively organized as there is a
lot of work to get done. We are growing rapidly, and you will be on
the front lines to assist in this growth and help us ensure we stay
in order. Attention to detail is not simply a preferred
qualification.
Most importantly, are you someone who can also be a good business
partner and team player? Our team supports and works with Sales,
Engineering, Product, Marketing, People, you get the picture. We
need someone who can delicately and successfully balance the
binary-lawyer and ad-hoc business relationship and resulting
decisions. In other words, this is not a typical or traditional
role, but will be supremely interesting and challenging (full
disclosure - notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be lots of
the traditional lawyer work as well, don't you worry).
What will you be doing out of the gate? Learning quickly. Also,
helping CBI (safely) grow and expand. But at first, you will begin
to take over basic contract negotiations, navigate onerous privacy
requirements as they arise, assist in IP-related work, perform
various research related to various matter (ha!), work with legal
ops to get our contract management system in place for client and
vendor contracts.
Note, if you are a recent law school graduate with a strong
background in project management or operations that didn't land at
a large, snooty firm for whatever reason, we can talk. We don't
care if you are from a second or third "tier" school - if you are a
capable person who can write, think, and scrap intelligently, we
can teach you the rest pretty quickly.
If the above intrigues you, we'd love for you to apply. Please
submit a 1-page resume and do your research on CB Insights before
our initial phone interview. Knowing what our company does is the
first prerequisite!
