Senior Corporate Counsel

Solace

22h

About The Position

Solace is scaling fast, and the corporate and finance work that comes with that is scaling too. We're looking for a lawyer who can own that work and grow into more of it as we do.

Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, you'll be the go-to lawyer for financing and strategic transactions, M&A, and corporate governance, while helping get us IPO-ready from a legal and process standpoint. You'll work closely with Corporate Development, Finance, and Compliance, so this is a position for someone who likes to collaborate cross-functionally. We’re flexible on seniority for the role; what matters more than the label is whether you can move fast, exercise business judgment, and build the corporate and governance infrastructure of a company that's headed toward the public markets.

Requirements

• JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing.
• 3-9+ years of corporate, transactional, and securities law experience; we care more about what you've actually done than the number on your resume.
• Experience with financing transactions, M&A, and corporate governance, with in-house experience strongly preferred.
• Strong instincts on risk versus velocity, and the judgment to know what needs to be escalated to leadership.
• Excellent negotiation, drafting, and project management skills, with the ability to run complex, cross-functional transactions on tight timelines.
• Applicants must be based in the United States.

Nice To Haves

• IPO readiness background, with public company and SEC reporting experience a plus, not a requirement.
• Healthcare, marketplace, or other regulated-industry experience is helpful but not required.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate financing and strategic transactions, including equity and debt raises, credit facilities, and other capital markets activity, from structuring through close.
• Counsel on M&A and strategic transactions, from diligence through execution and integration, including drafting and negotiating LOIs, NDAs, purchase agreements, and ancillary closing documents.
• Help build the governance and compliance infrastructure to support public company readiness.
• Support corporate governance, including board and committee materials, notices, agendas, minutes, resolutions, and consents, and help mature these processes as the company scales.
• Oversee entity management across our corporate structure, including formation, qualification, compliance, and dissolution of said entities.
• Build and maintain policies and procedures for compliance with securities regulations applicable to public companies.
• Partner closely with Corporate Development, Finance, and Compliance on transaction strategy, risk management, audits, equity plans, and internal controls.
• Build the templates, playbooks, and internal processes that let a small legal team support a fast-scaling business without reinventing the wheel every time.
• Manage relationships with outside counsel and other advisors on corporate, securities, and transactional matters.
