About Scissero
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. Our culture values collaboration, inclusivity, and flexibility, and we believe technology augments, not replaces, legal expertise.
Position Overview
As a Legal Specialist, you will work directly on live private equity, M&A, and financing transactions for leading global investment firms, asset managers, and corporations.
Key responsibilities:
- Review, draft, and negotiate NDAs and ancillary transaction documentation aligned with client-approved playbooks, fully reflecting sponsor-side legal and commercial positions.
- Leverage our proprietary AI-enabled platform to assist with document review, deviation identification, and playbook application, ensuring speed, consistency, and accuracy in high-volume work.
This role sits at the heart of our legal delivery team, requiring precision, responsiveness, and reliability in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across our global legal team as well as our product and engineering teams to shape and refine the AI tools delivering our model.
Working Hours: 9 AM – 6 PM (GMT)
