Role Summary

As Commercial Legal Counsel, you’ll be joining the growing Mistral AI legal team, which currently has team members based in Paris, Singapore, and Palo Alto. You will be the second member to join our team in Singapore and will be an instrumental part of supporting our company in bringing state-of-the-art AI models and products to the world in collaboration with our science, engineering, business, and marketing teams. The core of this role is drafting and negotiating commercial agreements to support the growth of our business in APAC. As part of a start-up legal team, you’ll need to be nimble enough to also work on product matters (privacy, marketing and regulatory compliance), corporate legal work, intellectual property, employment issues, and other matters, as needed. You should be genuinely interested in working on cutting-edge legal and policy issues in the rapidly evolving AI space.

What you will do

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts across the business, including creating new form agreements.

• Manage the development and improvement of legal and approval processes, workflow process improvements, company policies, internal training and guides, and templates to scale with the company as it grows.

• Provide solution-oriented legal, regulatory, and strategic advice and direction to teams across our company from the initial stages of project development to launch and beyond.

• Efficiently manage and work with outside counsel to support projects you manage.

• Stay up-to-date and ensure compliance with Singapore, APAC and international laws and regulations that apply to AI technologies, including privacy and data protection, competition, consumer protection, payments, and intellectual property.

• Build positive relationships across the company and with its external partners.

About you

• Bachelor's degree or above (LLB, LLM, JD preferred) from an accredited law school; admitted to practice law in Singapore.

• 8+ years of law firm and/or in-house experience. In-house technology experience and experience in a fast-paced and high-growth environment are strong pluses.

• 5+ years experience in-house at Tech/AI companies, covering Asia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand

• Hands-on public sector contract negotiation required.

• Experience drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, including creating and refining form agreements.

• Generalist skill set with the willingness to tackle problems outside your core expertise.

• Ability to balance an attention to detail with the requirements of a fast-paced company.

• Demonstrated business and pragmatic judgment, and the ability to analyze the costs/benefits of proposed resolutions to complex legal and technical problems.

• Proven ability to build solid, trusting, and credible relationships, including working closely with science, engineering, business, and marketing teams.

• Excellent writing, communication, and people skills.

• An understanding of AI technologies and their applications, including how they intersect with relevant areas of law, such as privacy and data protection, competition, and intellectual property, and related ethical considerations such as fairness, transparency, accountability, and bias mitigation

• An international mindset and experience is a plus.

• Given the rapidly evolving nature of AI technologies and the legal landscape surrounding them, you should be adaptable and willing to continuously learn and update your skills and knowledge.
