Moritz
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.
We've raised $9m from YC, 20VC and the founders of Dropbox, Gusto, Instacart, Reddit, Superhuman, Product Hunt, Hugging Face and 15 other unicorn founders.
The Role
We're looking for a UK qualified corporate M&A lawyer to join as a founding team member: not just as legal counsel, but as a core partner in shaping our corporate practice and growth in the UK.
What you'll do
- Lead our English law corporate M&A practice and shape product strategy and go-to-market approach
- Own corporate work end to end: drafting, reviewing and negotiating share and asset purchase agreements, investment documents, shareholder agreements, disclosure letters and ancillaries under English law
- 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
