Join Scissero – The Law Firm of the Future
About Us
Scissero is an AI-enhanced legal services company built for financial institutions. We combine expert legal support with intelligent automation transforming how transactional law is delivered.
We’re not a traditional law firm. We are a diverse and globally distributed team of lawyers, engineers, and innovators working across the U.S, EMEA, and APAC. We believe technology augments, not replaces legal expertise. Our culture values collaboration, inclusivity, and flexibility.
Position Overview:
As a Legal Specialist, you will work directly on live private equity, M&A, and financing transactions for leading global investment firms, asset managers, and corporates. You will review, draft, and negotiate NDAs and ancillary transaction documentation in accordance with client-approved playbooks, ensuring full alignment with sponsor-side legal and commercial positions.
You will leverage our proprietary AI-enabled platform to assist with document review, deviation identification, and playbook application. The platform enhances speed, consistency, and accuracy, enabling you to deliver high-quality legal work at scale while maintaining full ownership and accountability for the final output.
This role sits at the core of our legal delivery team, supporting fast-moving, high-value transactions where precision, responsiveness, and reliability are critical. You will work closely with colleagues across our global legal team to deliver seamless support across concurrent deals, collaborating to maintain exceptional standards of quality and consistency. You will also partner with our product and engineering teams, helping refine and improve the AI tools that underpin our delivery model.
