    – Equity Partner –

    Location: Remote

    Jurisdiction: Canada, United States

    Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week

    Department: Legal Frontier Innovators (LFI) – Corporate & Entity Strategy

    Reports To: General Counsel

    What You Put In Is What You Get Out

    This isn't a job. It's a founding legal seat. You're not joining a legal team—you're helping architect the legal structure from scratch. This is a rare opportunity to build the core governance layer of a global IP, technology, and entertainment company.

    Minimum commitment: 20 hours/week. If that's not realistic, this isn't the right fit. No hard feelings—we operate on clarity.

    This Is An Equity Partner Role. That Means

    • No upfront cash compensation
    • Equity (shares) at a Founding Legal Partner level (standard vesting applies)
    • Potential future token-based rewards (pending legal and regulatory clearance)
    • Salary activates upon milestone-based revenue unlocks
    • Remote-first, async-native legal team embedded in strategic operations

    Let's Be Absolutely Clear

    We're not offering a job. We're building a legal engine—and looking for a co-architect.

    You'll shape the rules, define the entity logic, and help lock in the structural code that will carry this company globally. You'll create clarity across complexity—without legacy systems slowing you down.

    If you're looking to join a corporate legal department—this isn't it. If you're ready to help write the structural playbook from zero—this is your seat.

    Overview


    We're recruiting a Deputy General Counsel – Corporate, M&A & Governance to co-lead entity structuring, governance systems, and foundational legal architecture across multiple jurisdictions.

    This role is deeply embedded in product, finance, and IP strategy—and operates at the same altitude as treasury design, equity modeling, and cross-border expansion planning.

    What You'll Own

    • Design and oversee entity incorporation across Canada, the U.S., Cayman, Ireland, and beyond
    • Draft Articles of Incorporation, Memoranda of Association, Shareholder Agreements, and governance frameworks
    • Architect equity classes, board resolution mechanics, voting rights, audit triggers, and golden share provisions
    • Lead legal strategy on joint ventures, M&A structures, and strategic partnerships
    • Ensure jurisdictional compliance with CBCA, Delaware law, and related statutes
    • Collaborate with LegalOps, Treasury, and Finance to futureproof core legal systems

    What We're Looking For

    • Licensed to practice law in Canada or the United States (dual-licensed strongly preferred)
    • 8+ years experience in corporate law, governance, and M&A structuring
    • Deep experience in cross-border formation, shareholder architecture, and multi-entity design
    • Strong drafting skills across complex agreements: cap tables, charters, SPVs, investor docs
    • Prior exposure to venture-stage startups or creative/tech infrastructure
    • Bonus: experience with tokenized equity, smart contract governance, or decentralized legal models

    Compensation


    Equity (Shares): Founding partner-level equity

    Token-Based Rewards: Potential future compensation (pending compliance)

    Future Salary: Activates with revenue benchmarks

    Remote First: Globally distributed, async-first, autonomy-driven legal structure

    Our Promise


    This is a rare opportunity to help design the legal, financial, and IP framework of a next-generation platform.

    You won't be interpreting rules—you'll be writing them.

    If you've ever wanted to scale a legal system that outlives any single product—this is your moment.
