The Role

We are looking for an exceptional commercial lawyer based in New York to join our growing global Legal team. The Legal team is a dynamic, external and internal-facing function which supports all aspects of the business across all offices, from Tokyo to San Francisco. You will have a broad range of work, ranging from: (i) negotiating contracts with clients and vendors; (ii) working closely with the client services team and our clients’ legal and compliance teams to ensure clients access knowledge safely; (iii) navigating complex and novel legal issues; and (iv) dealing with evolving areas of law including intellectual property, technology, data privacy/GDPR and employment. All of this is being done at a global scale with multi-jurisdictional challenges in a fast-paced company. 

As Associate Legal Counsel you will work closely with both the VP of Legal and Senior Counsel based in New York, and the wider Legal team based in London. You will grow and develop, in a high-growth commercial environment. We will provide you with autonomy and independence in your day-to-day work and give you the opportunity to self-start, drive change, manage and lead.  You will be encouraged and empowered to take initiative and have hands-on ownership of projects. This is an ideal role for someone who’s keen to flex their legal muscle while having direct access and exposure to the commercial and organizational workings of a dynamic, innovative global business. We are looking for a person who wants to join our high-performance team, have real impact and be part of AlphaSights’ growth story.

  • A professional development team that works to ensure that you’re supported and on a clear career trajectory both within our firm and beyond
