Legal Counsel - Investment Funds, Tokenised RWA's

ABOUT TRILITECH

Trilitech is the London-based R&D and entrepreneurship hub for the Tezos blockchain. Founded in 2021, it brings together developers, entrepreneurs and institutions working across the Tezos ecosystem, from core protocol development (including Nomadic Labs) and DeFi through to real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation.

 

RWAs are a growing focus. Trilitech is behind a tokenised uranium marketplace launched in December 2024 on Etherlink, Tezos' EVM-compatible Layer 2, and a platform for trading tokenised commodities such as gold and uranium. Alongside building its own products, Trilitech invests in third-party tokenised RWAs, typically with ticket sizes of roughly $1M to $10M.

 

THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced investment funds lawyer to support our in-house legal team on a flexible, as-needed basis. This is a freelance engagement paid hourly, not a permanent or full-time role.

 

When we are considering an investment in a tokenised RWA, you will review the issuer's documentation and tell us, clearly and quickly, two things: how we get our money out, and what we can do if something goes wrong. You will work closely with Giti, who leads investment legal in-house.

 

HOW IT WORKS

- When an opportunity reaches legal due diligence, Giti shares the document pack along with context on the deal and any specific concerns

- You review the documents and return a short red-flag report, typically within a few days

- Where needed, you speak directly with the issuer's lawyers to clarify provisions or negotiate side letters

- Volume follows our deal flow, so the workload will vary from month to month

 

DOCUMENTS YOU WILL REVIEW

- Offering memoranda and prospectuses: the core terms and disclosure for the issuance, including the issuer structure, reserve arrangements and risk factors

- Token terms and conditions: the rights attached to the token, including how redemption works
