About Us
We are a growing procurement managed services firm that helps mid-market and enterprise clients — including major Am Law firms and professional services organizations — reduce risk and cost through vendor management. Our team partners closely with clients to drive strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and operational efficiency.
About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented and business-savvy Commercial Contracts Attorney to serve as a dedicated legal resource supporting our clients' contract review and negotiation needs. In this role, you will function as an extension of our clients' in-house legal and procurement teams — reviewing, redlining, and negotiating vendor and commercial agreements on their behalf, while integrating into their operational workflows and review cadences.
You will be hired and managed by our firm, performing contract redlines and negotiation support on behalf of clients; clients retain signing authority on all final agreements.

- Serve as a trusted point of contact for clients' General Counsel, in-house legal teams, and procurement stakeholders
- Translate clients' business and procurement objectives into contract language that protects their interests
- Identify and address key legal risks and deviations from client contracting standards and playbooks
- Collaborate with clients' in-house counsel, business owners, and vendor stakeholders to finalize contracts (clients retain signing authority)
- Integrate effectively into client workflows, cultures, and review cadences
- Track status and version control across active negotiations and contract pipelines
Qualifications
- JD from an accredited law school; active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
- 8+ years of experience reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts
- Familiarity with procurement-driven contracting and vendor agreements strongly preferred
- Experience working alongside in-house counsel at a law firm or sophisticated corporate legal department is a plus
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, client-facing environment
- Strong communication, attention to detail, and business judgment
- Demonstrated ability to embed within client teams and adapt to existing workflows and cultures
Why Join Us?
- Opportunity to work with sophisticated clients across industries, including major Am Law firms
- High-impact role with exposure to strategic sourcing and vendor negotiation
- Opportunity to function as a strategic legal partner to in-house General Counsel and procurement leaders
- Flexible work arrangement — fully remote or hybrid out of our New York office
- Clear path to permanent employment for the right candidate
