The Role:

• Manage and litigate complex commercial disputes from inception through resolution

• Handle depositions, court appearances, and strategic case development
• Work on high-value matters involving partnership, financial, and business conflicts

Benefits:

The firms offer comprehensive benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements.

Build your name in sponsor-side leveraged finance while working on some of the most high-profile, cross-border deals in the market.

You’ll get direct exposure to upper-mid and large-cap sponsor transactions that shape the industry. These deals give you faster access to decision-makers, sharper commercial instincts and marketable skills that translate to private equity and private credit.

Working at a fully integrated global platform means you won’t be boxed into domestic work. You’ll collaborate with European and Asian lenders, gain multi-jurisdictional experience, and build a broader commercial playbook, without having to move offices or start over.

And while the hours are still serious (this is leveraged finance), you’ll often find more sustainable rhythms on certain time zones, plus earlier client-facing and deal-running opportunities than many U.S. firms offer. You’ll develop faster, with more responsibility and less waiting around the hierarchy.

What you’ll do

Advise clients on a wide range of debt finance matters, particularly sponsor-side leveraged finance. You’ll work closely with partners and senior lawyers on structuring, negotiating, and executing financing transactions.

Support cross-border matters in coordination with the firm’s global offices, delivering high-quality legal analysis and documentation under tight timelines. You’ll collaborate with internal teams and contribute to a culture of teamwork, innovation, and client service.

What you’ll need

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited U.S. law school, with strong academic performance.
• Class year 2019–2022 (preferred) and experience representing sponsors in leveraged finance.
• Admission to the New York Bar (or ability to waive in), along with demonstrated interest in debt finance, an entrepreneurial mindset, and strong teamwork skills.

About the company

A global law firm operating across jurisdictions, sectors, cultures, and languages. The firm emphasizes a collaborative and inclusive culture where diverse perspectives are valued, and all employees have equal access to opportunities.

The firm combines deep legal expertise with commercial intelligence to support clients through critical business moments, from growth and transformation to protection and defence.

Their attorneys work as one global team, giving them exposure to cross-border matters, international colleagues, and sector-specific insights.

Real estate is the world’s largest asset class, yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers still review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos — all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence.

That’s where this company comes in. They’ve built an AI assistant designed exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed alongside former practicing real estate lawyers, the platform accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision.

The company recently raised a $60m Series B to accelerate UK/US expansion. The platform is trusted by leading Am Law firms to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster.

Joining the team means becoming part of a company that is reimagining how real estate transactions get done — moving quickly, working collaboratively, and giving people ownership to make a real impact from day one.

Role Overview

As a Legal Solutions Architect, you will partner with leading Am Law 200 firms and in-house legal teams to unlock the value of real-estate-specific AI in their practices.

In this client-facing role on the go-to-market team, you will serve as a trusted advisor to partners and innovation leaders — guiding successful pilots, coaching legal teams through change, and driving long-term adoption of the platform.

You will collaborate closely with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Product to deliver strategic insights, enable customers, and provide thought leadership across the customer lifecycle.

This role is ideal for a US-qualified attorney who is passionate about how legal technology can transform the practice of real estate law and who thrives in dynamic, evolving environments.

What You’ll Do

• Partner closely with Account Executives to drive the legal “win” during the sales process by aligning the platform’s solutions to real-world legal workflows.
• Engage with attorneys at law firms, title agencies, and real estate companies to uncover pain points and identify high-impact AI use cases.
• Facilitate tailored product demonstrations, discovery sessions, and pilot programs aligned to specific legal teams and practice groups.
• Coach attorneys and legal staff through workflow change, adapting your approach to different roles, seniority levels, and firm cultures.
• Build consultative, trust-based relationships with key legal stakeholders using your real estate subject-matter expertise.
• Translate customer feedback into actionable insights for Product, Sales, and Marketing — acting as the legal “Voice of the Customer.”
