Remote jobs at Northstar Legal

Northstar Legal is a fractional general counsel practice built for crypto and other emerging tech companies, providing in-house legal counsel on a flat-rate basis. Founded in 2023 by Josh Downer after stints at Sullivan & Cromwell and Ripple Labs, we serve as embedded legal partners to companies across the digital assets ecosystem, from L1 protocols and DeFi platforms to consumer crypto apps, tokenization infrastructure and beyond. Our clients are building the next generation of financial services, and we help them navigate the legal complexity that comes with it. We operate at the speed of Silicon Valley with the experience and judgement honed over years advising the world’s most impactful financial institutions. Because we do not use the billable hour, our incentive is aligned with our clients: get to the best result as efficiently as possible. Our work spans the full range of matters confronting our clients, including product regulatory, commercial, corporate governance and equity arrangements, token issuance and grants, employment, and more. If you're building in crypto or AI and want a legal partner to join your team, we'd love to connect.
