Commercial Counsel
A QUICK RUN-DOWN OF THE JOB
We're looking for a Commercial Counsel to own the full lifecycle of LI.FI commercial agreements. These agreements aren't ancillary paperwork, they're part of the core API product. Every integration partner relationship is formalised through the contracts you'll negotiate, and the terms you agree directly shape how the product is distributed, priced, and used.
You'll be the primary legal contact for all contract negotiations with integration partners, API customers, and service providers, working closely with the business development team. You'll report to the General Counsel and operate with a high degree of autonomy.
This role exists because LI.FI commercial volume has outgrown what a single GC can handle. The integration pipeline is substantial and accelerating. You'll step into an environment with a mature set of template agreements already in place, but where each counterparty brings its own paper, risk appetite, and regulatory position. The work is varied, high velocity, and commercially significant.
Please note: This role is remote, with a preference for candidates based in the US (East Coast), UK, or EU.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Draft, review, and negotiate the full range of LI.FI commercial agreements, including API integration agreements, master service (level) agreements, partnership agreements, and term sheets
- Review and negotiate vendor and service provider contracts on the procurement side
- Manage contract lifecycle from intake through execution, amendment, and renewal, maintaining version control and ensuring executed agreements are properly filed and tracked
- Act as the primary legal interface for integration partners and enterprise customers during negotiations, handling multi-round redlines, organising calls with counterparty counsel, and driving deals to close
- Work closely with the business development team as the primary legal partner on commercial matters,...
