Tasks We are looking for a sharp, commercially-minded Legal Counsel to serve as a strategic partner for a portfolio of high-growth tech startups. This isn't just about "checking boxes"—you will be at the intersection of cutting-edge hardware (Semiconductors) and agile software, navigating the complex legal landscapes that define the future of technology. Key responsibilities: End-to-End Contract Lifecycle: Draft, review and lead negotiations for complex commercial agreements, including Master Purchase Agreements, specialized Semiconductor supply/design-in contracts, EULA and SaaS. Legal Excellence: Maintain and optimize legal templates, documentation and internal filing systems to ensure "due diligence-ready" standards. Requirements Legal Qualification: Fully qualified German lawyer (First and Second State Exam) or US lawyer. Expertise: Significant experience in commercial contract law, specifically within the Semiconductor, SaaS or Software Licensing sectors. Language Skills: Professional fluency in German and English is essential, as you will be negotiating international cross-border agreements. Startup DNA: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are pragmatic, proactive, and capable of explaining complex legal concepts to non-lawyers. Attention to Detail: An uncompromising eye for detail without losing sight of the "big picture" business objectives. Benefits Direct impact on the growth of the European Deep Tech and Semiconductor ecosystem. High level of autonomy and responsibility from day one. You can work part-time or full-time. You will work remotely. You will work with startup founders that are changing the world. You will work like an inhouse lawyers for 10 startups. You will not bill by the hour. A collaborative environment where legal expertise is viewed as a driver of innovation, not a bottleneck: You will work in a team with an experienced lawyer, patent attorneys and IP managers.
