- 3+ years in corporate law, commercial contracts, finance, lending, or financial services, with strong drafting, negotiation, and research skills.
- Independent, organized, and discreet, with the ability to explain legal risk clearly to non-lawyers and manage matters across departments.
Nice to Have
- Experience in business financing, merchant cash advance, factoring, private credit, commercial lending, or payments.
- Familiarity with UCC filings, secured transactions, guarantees, confessions of judgment, defaults, and commercial dispute resolution.
- In-house experience, including managing outside counsel and building legal templates, workflows, and policies.
- Knowledge of compliance issues in business financing, debt collection, data privacy, or marketing communications; additional languages a plus.
