The ideal candidate brings a JD from a top-tier law school, active New York bar admission (or eligibility to waive in), and 4-8 years of experience as a corporate associate at a leading law firm or as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500, high-growth crypto, technology, or fintech company. Direct experience with M&A transactions, regulatory filings, and complex contract negotiations is essential. A generalist mindset, entrepreneurial energy, and genuine interest in financial technology—including blockchain and on-chain capital markets—are key to success in this role.
