About Us:

GoQuant is a fast-growing digital asset technology company building high-performance trading infrastructure, dark pools, credit systems, and cross-venue execution products for institutions globally. We operate across multiple jurisdictions and work with leading market makers, funds, custodians, and exchanges.

We’re looking for a Legal Associate to support our team with drafting, reviewing, and organizing key legal documents across the company. This is not a General Counsel role — it’s a hands-on position ideal for someone who enjoys contracts, deal documentation, and fast-moving projects.

What You’ll Do:

• Draft, review, and redline commercial agreements (MSAs, NDAs, partnership agreements, licensing terms).
• Assist with entity restructuring, corporate governance, and cross-border documentation.
• Support the creation and update of HR agreements, offer letters, and contractor agreements.
• Review client onboarding documents, platform terms, and policy updates.
• Coordinate with external counsel across jurisdictions when needed.
• Maintain organized documentation and version tracking.
• Support compliance, regulatory, and tax-related filings (as applicable).

What We’re Looking For:

• 1–3 years of legal experience (law firm or in-house).
• Strong drafting and contract review skills.
• Good understanding of corporate law, commercial contracts, and basic tax/structuring principles.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced startup with shifting priorities.
• Clear communication, attention to detail, and a proactive mindset.
• Experience with cross-border or fintech/crypto companies is a plus, not required.

• Review of all HR agreements
• Bootcamp contracts
• Employment contracts
• Contractor agreements
• HR and Employment agreement
• Code of Ethics
• NDA & IP Assignment agreement
• Travel and expense agreement
• Release Agreements
• Privacy and remote work policy

• IP valuations and transfers
• International tax and holding structures
• Cap table management (specialization in Carta and Excel)
• Incorporation and formation (articles of association, memorandum of association, etc.)
• Board resolutions and minutes
• Data room preparation
• Commercial contracts
• NDAs
• Partnerships and revenue share agreements
• Client contracts, terms and conditions

Why Join Us:
