About this role
## About Us
Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
- We **lean in:** ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
- We **fight for excellence:** high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
- We **grow together:** as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
## The Role
We're hiring a Head of Corporate Legal to build and lead Legora's corporate, securities, governance and M&A function as we prepare to operate as a public company. You will build the team and do the work on the Legora aOS, shaping the product along the way.
At Legora’s pace of growth, new entities, acquisitions, financings and Board work land in the same quarter, and public-company discipline has to arrive early, without slowing the company down.
The right candidate will have taken a company public from the inside and then run the corporate function through the quarters that followed....
