We're a growing team of lawyers, technologists, and policy architects rewriting the rules for the decentralised economy. If you think in protocols as fluently as precedent, you belong here.

Most legal firms ask you to forget everything you know about technology. Most Web3 companies ask you to forget everything you know about law. We refuse that trade-off - and we've built a culture to prove it.
We expect our lawyers to read smart contracts. We expect our technologists to read case law. Cross-training is not optional - it's how we work.
No billable-hour tyranny. No six-level approval chains. Senior attorneys manage their own client relationships, timelines, and deliverable standards.
Our team spans eight time zones. We meet intentionally - not habitually. Results matter far more than office visibility.
Competitive compensation, token equity participation in select mandates, and an open path to partnership for high performers - regardless of tenure.
Annual learning budget, conference sponsorship, internal research sessions, and a curated library spanning DeFi, regulatory theory, and cryptography.
From day one, you'll work on live mandates - not research memos for partners. $4B+ in transaction value, real deadlines, real decisions.
Straight from the Team
I spent four years at a Magic Circle firm wishing someone would let me work on a token issuance. At Tech Legal, that was literally my first week. The depth of the mandates here has no parallel in traditional legal practice.
As a smart contract auditor with a law background, I'd never found a place that valued both sides equally. Tech Legal didn't just hire me - they built a whole practice around the intersection I've always occupied.
The junior track at most firms is glorified research. Here, I was co-drafting a DAO governance framework with a client by month two. The learning curve is steep - in the best possible way.
