Senior Counsel

Senior Counsel

Client 1 builds AI voice agents that large US companies use to run customer conversations at scale. It is a small, fast-growing, profitable team where people own whole problems and work directly with the founders.

This is the company’s first lawyer, reporting to a founder and partnering with Sales on every enterprise deal. AI voice products raise new questions on consent, disclosure and outbound calling, and this person will set the company’s position.

What they’ll do

•          Close enterprise contracts (MSAs, DPAs, BAAs, order forms) quickly, with little outside counsel.

•          Build templates, a negotiation playbook and turnaround targets so Sales is never blocked.

•          Set positions on call-recording consent, TCPA, AI disclosure and customer use-case reviews.

•          Own the platform terms, acceptable use and privacy policies, and the outside-counsel budget.

Must have

•          JD and active California bar membership.

•          6+ years of commercial or tech-transactions work, or 4+ years in a tech-transactions group at a top firm.

Nice to have

•          Privacy and AI regulation (GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act).

•          Telecom, TCPA or healthcare (BAA) experience.

•          Has been the first in-house lawyer at a startup.
