General & Corporate Counsel

This role leads legal strategy across corporate governance, M&A, securities compliance, and strategic transactions for rapidly scaling AI companies. The General Counsel typically works closely with the executive team and board to navigate complex fundraising, entity management across multiple jurisdictions, and public-company readiness while building scalable legal infrastructure and processes. What distinguishes this role from specialist counsel is its breadth—advising on financing, equity administration, international expansion, and board matters alongside transaction work—and its focus on designing repeatable legal playbooks as the company grows. These counsels typically sit within a small but expanding legal function, often being the first or second lawyer hired, reporting directly to the CEO or Chief Legal Officer and partnering closely with Finance, People, and executive leadership to balance sophisticated legal work with hands-on operational execution.
