You will be part of a whip-smart group of in-house lawyers and the projects and cases you take on challenge you to think big and differently. You will be part of a collaborative team that is ready to partner in initiatives that influence all aspects of the business and willing to go the extra mile.

As Legal Counsel in the Commercial/IP team, your role entails acting as a business partner with/for the operation teams to fulfill their business and legal needs by handling contractual matters, and to bolster the company’s asset-protection strategy, notably through IP litigation, registration, PR and lobbying.

This is an exciting opportunity for a junior lawyer who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment, enjoys problem-solving, and wants to grow in a tech and entertainment-driven business.

• Contract Management: Draft, negotiate and/or review a variety of commercial agreements, including publishing, user acquisition, monetization agreements, service agreements, partnership, UGC and influencer contracts—to support the business across Voodoo’s publishing, marketing, and gaming activities.

• IP Protection: Handle IP protection and infringement matters, such as trademark registrations, copycat takedowns, pre-litigation and litigation in France and abroad, and more generally contribute in a meaningful way to the company’s strategy to better protect its games and apps despite the uncertain legal landscape.

• Process Optimization: Identify opportunities to streamline workflows and improve how the legal team supports the business

• Impact: You will be a key member of the legal team working hand in hand with the operational teams in a very integrated manner. You will be the privileged point of contact for any commercial need, and will work closely with cross-functional teams in a highly integrated, and hands-on environment.
