Moritz is a global AI-native law firm that handles legal work with same day turnaround. Our lawyers have closed $3bn in deals with an average turnaround of 4 hours. No other law firm offers this kind of speed for complex deals.

• Run deals for high-growth companies and their investors: venture rounds, SAFEs and ASAs, Delaware flips, secondaries and exits
• Build, test and refine our UK product from a legal perspective, evolving core templates and playbooks
• Partner with the founding team to design scalable legal workflows that drive product adoption and growth
• Provide strategic guidance on English law corporate matters as we scale

What we're looking for

• 4–8 years of corporate M&A experience at a leading law firm for technology companies (magic circle, silver circle or US firm in London) or in-house at a major tech company or high-growth startup
• Expert in corporate M&A, with deep experience drafting and negotiating SPAs, investment agreements and shareholder agreements
• Qualified as a solicitor of England and Wales, with an active practising certificate (non negotiable requirement)
• Based in the UK
• Entrepreneurial mindset and excitement about building something new
• Genuine interest in innovation, AI, and legal tech
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment

Compensation: £ 130,000 + 20,000 + equity.
