The Lawyer
Corporate Tools is building a team of lawyers to transition from reactionary legal decision making to proactive strategies that drive company growth. As a lawyer, you will quarterback legal operations, ensure compliance, maintain trademarks, and provide legal support across the organization.
Responsibilities
Quarterback anything and everything legal. We do registered agent service, corporate filings, software as a service, and operate physical locations in every state. As the lawyer, you’d be the primary front line responder to anything legal in our operation. You’d be responsible for determining if you can deal with the problem or hire local or specialized counsel in the appropriate jurisdiction
You’ll be responsible for how we operate legally. Are we doing the right things? Are we operating legally? Is the city mad at us for something? Is the state mad at us for something? Who’s mad at us???? Who’s going to be mad at us and how do we avoid it? Are we violating someone's IP rights? Is someone encroaching on our IP? We have a massive amount of Intellectual Property. Massive. It will be shocking to you… Tech, IP, and Data Privacy should be interesting to you
