Legal Counsel

🌎 Location: Hybrid in Estonia.

💰 Compensation: Up to 3,400 EUR gross monthly, based on your experience and seniority level.

💡About the role:

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel who is excited about expanding across different jurisdictions and figuring out “legals” for different product-related challenges, helping to build a stand-alone legal function in Xolo.

Xolo is on a mission to help freelancers do business across the EU — this will bring challenges that will constantly change and evolve as we figure out the best ways to support our clients. We are looking for someone who has strong project management and problem-solving skills to understand and find solutions to complex legal questions. It would be helpful if you have prior experience related to corporate or tax law, or if you have advised or worked for startups before. Experience working within the Spanish framework is a big bonus.

✍️As a Legal Counsel at Xolo, you will: 

• Assist us in figuring out product legal requirements for expanding into new markets and substantiating existing frameworks.
• Advise us on how to assist our clients with their corporate matters.
• Keep an eye on upcoming regulatory and legal developments.
• Draft, review and negotiate all types of legal documents starting from partnership agreements to policies and vendor agreements.
• Advise and help our AML and GDPR teams with interpreting relevant guidance, implementing and improving internal processes and risk management procedures.
• Establish legal processes, such as contract management, compliance tracking, and due diligence procedures.
• Work with professionals across Growth, Product and Engineering teams and learn how a startup works from inside out.

🧩 What makes you a great fit?

• Have legal expertise or strong interest in areas relevant to our industry, such as accounting, international taxation, corporate law, and financial partnerships.
• Enjoy working on a global scale with international regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements.
• Get excited when given a chance to identify and assess legal risks and create strategies and processes to mitigate them.
• Have a strong interest in global expansion to new markets, assessing and mitigating risks associated with it, and establishing processes for compliant operations.
• Don’t get disheartened when you immediately don’t know the answer but rather get excited to own and then solve the problem.
• Have worked in a law firm, startup or financial services industry before.
