Join Scissero – The Law Firm of the Future
About Us
Scissero is an AI-enhanced legal services company built for financial institutions. We combine expert legal support with intelligent automation, transforming how transactional law is delivered.
We’re not a traditional law firm. We are a diverse and globally distributed team of lawyers, engineers, and innovators working across the U.S, EMEA, and APAC. We believe technology augments, not replaces legal expertise. Our culture values collaboration, inclusivity, and flexibility.
Position Overview
As a Legal Specialist, you will work directly on live private equity, M&A, and financing transactions for global financial institutions, including leading investment firms, asset managers, and corporates.
Your role involves reviewing, drafting, and negotiating NDAs and ancillary transaction documentation in strict alignment with client-approved playbooks, ensuring full coordination with sponsor-side legal and commercial positions.
You will leverage our proprietary AI-enabled platform for document review, deviation detection, and playbook application. The tool boosts efficiency, ensuring speed, consistency, and accuracy, while you maintain full ownership and accountability for final legal outputs.
This position is core to our legal delivery team, supporting fast-moving, high-value transactions where precision, responsiveness, and reliability are essential. You will collaborate globally with peers and partner with product and engineering teams, helping refine our AI-driven processes that underpin this delivery model.
