## Job description

## About Us

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

- We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
- We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
- We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

## The role

As a Commercial Counsel in Legora’s London office, you will play a central role in supporting one of the fastest-growing legal technology companies globally. You will work closely with our commercial teams, advising on a broad range of matters with a primary focus on drafting and negotiating commercial contracts. This role requires a high degree of independence and the ability to operate across multiple time zones, partnering closely with stakeholders to enable deals while managing risk. You will report to the General Counsel, based at our Stockholm headquarters. Legora’s legal function is a forward-deployed, AI-first team working across multiple jurisdictions and legal disciplines. We act as trusted partners to the business, with particular focus on product development, operations, and commercial initiatives. Beyond strong legal judgment, we value curiosity, problem-solving, and a proactive mindset — looking for pragmatic solutions as we help redefine how legal work is done globally.

What you will be doing:

- Act as a commercial legal partner to the business, working closely with senior stakeholders in Growth, Operations, and Procurement on customer and supplier engagements.
- Lead the drafting, review, and negotiation of customer and supplier contracts, with a strong focus on closing deals efficiently and pragmatically.
- Advise on commercial risk allocation, pricing structures, liability, and contractual protections within customer and supplier agreements.
- Support go-to-market and procurement activities by enabling scalable, repeatable commercial contracting practices.
- Address data protection and compliance considerations primarily within the context of customer and supplier contracts, ensuring risks are appropriately managed without slowing execution.
- Develop and maintain commercial templates, playbooks, and guidelines to standardise negotiations and improve deal velocity.

## Who you are

- Law degree from UK, or an EU-jurisdiction, qualified to practice in that country.
- 7+ years of experience at a top-tier law firm and/or as an in-house legal counsel.
- Spanish and/or German language skills are considered a plus.
- Strong experience negotiating B2B SaaS agreements and supporting commercial teams. You’re an excellent negotiator.
- Strong legal judgment and confidence in making decisions independently.
- Experience in handling corporate matters and drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements.
- Experience with data privacy matters, IT security and/or corporate law is meritorious.
- Your focus is on achieving meaningful business outcomes, translating into actionable advice delivered clearly and comprehensively.
- You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic entrepreneurial environment and rapidly evolving business setting. You take initiative and are committed to delivering high-quality results. You are comfortable working independently and can effectively manage work across different time zones.
- You are excited about the potential of technology to transform the legal industry. You have a keen interest in AI and legal tech, and you are eager to learn and apply these tools in real-world settings.
- Please send your application and a copy of your university transcript in order for us to review your application fairly.
