juro - Legal Counsel

• Deals that need a lawyer get you (not the GC) and close faster for it. • 90%+ of deals close with no lawyer involved at all because you have made the system better. • You work AI-first. Juro runs the most AI-leveraged legal function you’ll find; we expect you to push it further. • Customer deals are the tip of the spear but not the whole job. The same model covers everything else a scaling AI business sends Legal’s way: vendor contracts, data protection work, compliance, marketing claims, the occasional dispute. • You’ll own the systems for all of it — playbooks, thresholds, AI triage — handle the exceptions yourself and escalate to the GC only where the risk warrants it. You’ll also get exposure to the company-level work Michael leads: corporate, governance, employment, strategic projects. • We care about building a diverse team where everyone feels they belong. That’s why our perks & benefits https://juro.notion.site/benefits and choice-first work https://juro.notion.site/choice-first-work approach are designed with inclusivity in mind.

So if you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit. • To succeed here: • Every Juror finds their balance across our four core Principles https://app.notion.com/p/Principles-acf77a5d174f427eb46aa3134a206296?pvs=21 — we hire, develop and celebrate people who live them every day. • Curious how you’d fit? Try our personality quiz https://my-juro-personality.lovable.app/ to see how you map against our principles. • On top of that, you have been part of a journey where: • You are a solicitor, qualified in England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, with a current practising certificate. • You have ~2-4 years’ post-qualification experience (you qualified March 2024 or earlier). • You trained somewhere that held you to high standards (likely a City firm, strong regional firm or tech sector specialist firm) and spent most of your time on commercial, tech, IP, data protection or AI work. • You worked in or alongside in-house teams at tech companies (client secondments count) for at least a year. From that, we infer that you’re comfortable with ambiguity, limited supervision and speed. • You negotiated commercial contracts in tech directly with the other side, end to end, without someone reviewing your work before it goes out. • You built (not just advised) things other people use such as playbooks, templates, automation and training. You’d rather fix the cause of the question than answer it three times. • This job likely isn’t for you if: • You measure your value by the number of contracts you’ve reviewed. Here, a contract reaching you that didn’t need to is a failure, not a win. • You're under ~2 years’ PQE (you'll be exposed).* • You need a rigid 9-to-5. A few days a month — typically a US-heavy month-end — you'll shift your day later to be in the room with US counterparties (but not stacking extra hours on top). • Most of your experience is in less relevant practice areas like property, litigation, private client, pensions, or banking. • You've only worked in-house at large corporates where work is slow and heavily supervised. • You want to work in-person with your boss regularly. Our GC works remotely from the Scottish Highlands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 • You want to specialise. This is a generalist role and will stay one. • This role is scoped for ~2-4 years’ PQE: if you’re more senior and still interested, tell us. • Juro exists to help the world agree faster by making it incredibly easy for anyone to agree and manage legal contracts. • Frustrated by the absurdly slow process of taking a contract from inception through to agreement, Juro co-founders Richard and Pavel thought there must be a better way. They set out in 2016 to build a flexible, collaborative platform that anyone could use to process a legal contract end-to-end in their browser. • Fast forward 8 years and we have helped our customers process 2 million contracts in over 85 countries. Some of the world’s fastest-growing businesses, like Deliveroo, Remote, and Trustpilot have relied on Juro to help them streamline routine contracts at scale across multiple years of their growth. • But our story is just beginning.‍ Read more about our vision for intelligent contract automation https://juro.com/blog/vision-2024. • GOT MORE QUESTIONS? • Check if they're answered on: • Our extended job description for this role: https://juro.notion.site/legal-counsel • Our company handbook: https://juro.notion.site/handbook https://juro.notion.site/handbook?pvs=4 • Our careers page: https://juro.notion.site https://juro.notion.site/ • There, you'll find answers on topics such as career progression, inclusion & belonging, the interview process, benefits and more.
