About the role
Welcome to Crosby, the next-generation law company! We're a team of technologists and legal experts collaborating closely to reimagine corporate legal services from the ground up. We build proprietary technology and human-in-the-loop workflows to enhance the lawyer-machine relationship radically. We want to review complex documents, for example, faster than ever, and with perfect quality. Crosby was founded by Ryan (Penn, Stanford Law, ex-Cooley, former GC) and John (Penn M&T, ex-Ramp, ex-Google). We believe: A great legal system is the watermark of a great society. Legal work is an art and science. We want to discover the frontier between the two and codify the scientific parts, which is a magnificent puzzle. Selling work, not software, is the best way to realize the productivity gains of GenAI for professional services. In an in-person culture at our NYC office.
The Role: Serve as Commercial Counsel to help us scale our contract review and legal service operations. You’ll work closely with both our legal and technical team to ensure commercial contracts are processed efficiently and accurately. This is a high-responsibility, detail-oriented role for someone energized by complex systems, quality execution, and working at the intersection of law and technology. What You’ll Do: Review and negotiate commercial contracts and other legal documents with speed and precision. Collaborate with legal team members to interpret contract terms and identify key obligations, risks, and anomalies. Operate Crosby’s internal tooling and workflows to streamline document review processes. Identify inefficiencies or patterns in the review process and suggest improvements. Help standardize and codify recurring contract types and playbooks. Partner cross-functionally with engineering and operations teams to evolve our legal service delivery model. What We’re Looking For: 5+ years of experience as a practicing lawyer reviewing commercial contracts in private practice or in-house as a commercial counsel. Impeccable attention to detail, you spot the small stuff others miss. Experience with or excitement about technology-enhanced legal services. A strong process mindset, you’re always thinking about how to do something faster, better, or with more consistency. Comfort working in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous, high-ownership environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
