Technology Attorney - SF Bay Area (San Mateo)

A service offering of the law firm Fenwick & West, FLEX by Fenwick provides high-quality attorneys to technology and life sciences companies in need of interim in-house counsel. Much like our market-leading, entrepreneurial client base, Fenwick constantly seeks ways to innovate and remain best in class both for our legal work and for our client service. With this in mind, the firm launched FLEX.

As a FLEX attorney, you will have access to temporary in-house counsel opportunities with cutting-edge companies throughout the tech sector. Upon joining our attorney roster, we will contact you about potential engagements that fit your skill set and availability, and you let us know whether you'd like us to share your bio with the company. We don't assign you work, and you're never under any obligation to take on work. Simply put, you set the parameters of what you're looking for, and we try to match you with suitable clients and engagements.

As our clients continue to transition from remote to hybrid working arrangements, we are seeking attorneys able to be on site several days per week in the San Francisco and/or Silicon Valley areas. The skill sets our clients come to us for generally include (but are not limited to):

experience drafting and negotiating a wide variety of technology transactions, including SaaS, software, and hardware licensing agreements; distribution, channel, and reseller agreements; joint development, joint venture, collaboration, and strategic alliance agreements; and privacy, non-disclosure, and confidentiality agreements experience working with internal engineering, product, design, security, privacy, and marketing teams throughout the product development life cycle, advising on regulatory requirements and how to mitigate risks for new technologies experience advising on corporate governance, public company reporting, M&A due diligence, and routine corporate housekeeping matters.

Attorneys at all levels of practice will be considered, and we will contact you if your experience is a good fit for our anticipated client needs.

Attorneys who have previously onboarded with FLEX do not need to apply as you are already under consideration for active client needs.
