Through a combination of AI and other technologies, as well as analytics, workflow tools, and human expertise, we deliver critical, actionable legal and policy insights in a rapidly evolving political, regulatory and macroeconomic environment. We have grown rapidly in just a few years – with an operational footprint spanning the globe – and completed our public listing on the NYSE in August 2022.
In this role, you will report directly to the General Counsel and take the lead on a wide range of matters for the legal function, including corporate compliance and governance, commercial contracting, labor and employment law and more. In addition, you will provide support and guidance on M&A, financings and other critical strategic transactions. Here, you will have countless opportunities to work with the company’s senior leadership team and other internal clients across the business, leveraging your legal skills, business acumen and strategic perspective to devise solutions that meet regulatory, business, and organizational needs.
About The Team
The FiscalNote legal team is a strategic partner and trusted advisor to the business, and serves as an essential contributor to the company’s growth. The legal team operates at a high level, often exceeding the level of expertise and quality of work of our outside counsel. We strive to foster and maintain great relationships with all our internal clients, and to deliver top notch and timely service and guidance at all times. As Associate General Counsel - Corporate, you’ll be expected to provide expert guidance on your core areas of responsibility and leverage outside counsel as necessary to meet the company’s needs. You’ll be key to the success of the company’s commercial operations, governance and compliance, and strategic transactions.
About You
This role requires core strengths in corporate law, commercial contracts, negotiations, and deal structuring, as well as superior communication skills, executive presence, creative problem solving and risk management. Beyond that, this role is ideal for you if you relish opportunities to roll-up your sleeves, come up to speed quickly on new areas of law and tackle projects beyond your core competencies.
