About us
Omnilex started by building the AI workspace lawyers actually want to use, including the world's first AI-powered legal commentary, a living layer of legal understanding that redefines how lawyers work. In just one year, that product became the daily tool of thousands of legal professionals across Switzerland, Germany, and Liechtenstein, and a leading legal AI workspace in those markets.
Now we are using that foundation to build something even bigger: an AI-native law firm in the US. Every case its lawyers solve becomes a productized, AI-native service: legal capability that scales, compounds, and can be deployed on demand for the next client. With a USD 4.5M raise, we're scaling internationally. You'll be joining a small, ambitious team of 17.
The role
You are the firm's first lawyer advising banks, funds, and insurers out of New York
You will run real mandates for sophisticated financial-sector clients: regulatory, transactional, and advisory work where the answer is not in a template and the client is paying for judgment. Non-contentious by design. We will litigate too.
And every matter you solve becomes a product. Working directly with the managing partner, founders, and our engineers, you turn your own expertise into AI-native services the firm can deploy for the next client in a fraction of the time. That is the whole thesis, and you are the person who proves it.
This is a firm to be built, not a seat to fill. You will shape the practice, the client base, and how the work gets done.
What you will do
Client work
Advise banks, asset managers, funds, and insurers on regulatory, transactional, and structuring questions across US and cross-border mandates
Own matters end-to-end: scoping, analysis, memos, documentation, negotiation, regulator-facing work
Be the trusted counterpart to general counsel, heads of compliance, and in-house teams
Productizing the practice
Turn each matter into a reusable, AI-native service: the analysis, the precedents, the decision logic
Work side by side with our engineers to build the tooling that does the work with you
Set the quality bar and the review standards that make AI-produced legal work defensible
Building the firm
Help stand up the New York practice: structure, intake, precedent library, engagement terms
Develop the client base together with the founders, from first conversation to signed mandate
Bring in and mentor the lawyers who follow you
This list will not stay static. As the firm grows, so does your scope.
Who you are
Admitted to the New York bar, with a clean disciplinary record
Several years at a leading US firm or in-house at a bank, fund, or insurer, with real ownership of financial-sector matters
Deep in at least one of: banking and financial regulation, funds and asset management, insurance regulatory, structured products, or financial transactions
Advisory and transactional by temperament.
Commercially sharp. You can read what a client actually needs and price and scope the work accordingly
Entrepreneurial. The prospect of building a firm from the first mandate is the reason you are interested
Native/fluent English, based in or moving to New York
Bonus:
Existing relationships with GCs or compliance leadership at banks, funds, or insurers
Cross-border experience with European financial institutions
You have built something with AI, not just used it. An automation, an agent, a workflow. Tell us what it does
