Corporate / ECVC Associate (Remote)

Salary range: $200K - $300K

What we're looking for:

We are looking for a Corporate / ECVC Associate with 2–6 years of experience to serve as the primary corporate counsel for a squad of venture-backed startup clients at Virgil - a bootstrapped law firm founded by Eric Ries and Jeremy Howard that combines full-stack legal with back-office services. You'll work directly with founders from day one, own client relationships end-to-end, and help build the systems and culture of a fast-growing firm that's adding 20% MoM with zero marketing spend.

• Serving as the go-to ECVC lawyer within a dedicated squad — handling board consents, equity grants, hiring/firing, and day-to-day corporate questions for startup clients (pre-seed through Series B)

• Drafting and reviewing corporate governance documents, SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced round financing docs for Delaware C-Corps and PBCs

• Interfacing directly with founders daily — answering unlimited questions over email and calls as part of Virgil's subscription model

• Delegating to and managing paralegals, providing sufficient context so work flows smoothly downstream

• Collaborating with engineers and non-lawyer teammates to refine internal tools and workflows — everyone is part product manager here

Key Requirements

• 2–6 years post-JD with real ECVC/startup corporate experience (Big Law, in-house at a startup, or solo practice all work — juniors must have at least some ECVC exposure)

• Breadth of experience across multiple clients and industries — not concentrated on a single major client

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission

• Genuine excitement about building a firm from the ground up — not just looking for a remote job

• Comfort with AI tools and technology; ideally already using AI in your legal practice or personal life
