About the role:</h2>

This isn't the type of in-house counsel position where you will be siloed into a few narrow workstreams or deal with the same issue day after day. At Clipboard Health, you'll be tasked with tackling novel legal challenges, flexing different muscles across various areas of law, and making high-impact decisions in a fast-moving environment.

You have both the sharp instincts of a high-stakes litigator and an entrepreneurial spirit. You crave a creative and collaborative&mdash;rather than purely adversarial&mdash;experience in the law. You are a skilled and concise writer and communicator, and excel at and enjoy detail-oriented tasks, fact-finding, and investigative work. You have a strong degree of curiosity and are particularly adept at identifying subtle clues which may be indicative of a much wider and important universe of issues you need to dive into. You can navigate fairly esoteric internal databases to collect and digest complex sets of data. You are eager to bring your experience with litigation and investigations to an in-house role on a small and supportive team that affords opportunity for professional growth. You look forward to channeling your skills as a litigator into supporting and advocating for a mission-driven and groundbreaking business. You embrace and are not daunted by ambiguity or a challenge, have a perennially positive attitude, and are eager to help build a legal department and support the business in a fast-paced environment. You enjoy taking the lead on projects, and naturally take the initiative to solve problems and improve and streamline systems and processes.

Responsibilities:</h2>
<ul><li>Manage various litigation workstreams relating to independent contractor classification, including but not limited to matters relating to unemployment insurance claims and workers compensation.</li>

<li>Manage the company's third-party subpoena and law enforcement response strategy, including by improving our subpoena response playbook.</li>
<li>Provide legal guidance to a wide range of cross function teams, including the Company's product team.</li>
</ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">What success looks like 90 days in:</h2>
<ul><li>You are deeply familiar with all pending litigation and investigation matters and have taken over leadership of more than one such matter, including communicating and coordinating with outside counsel and internal stakeholders.</li>
<li>You have a deep understanding of the company's internal databases and can quickly collect and analyze complex sets of data, both for the purposes of developing proactive risk mitigation strategies and responding to high-stakes litigation document requests.</li>
<li>You fully own the unemployment, workers compensation workstreams and revenue collection workstreams and can operate completely independently on these fronts with minimal supervision.</li>
<li>You have systematized and now lead the company's third-party subpoena response process.</li>
<li>You are contributing to legal strategy decisions made by the Head of Legal.</li>
</ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Need to have:</h2>
<ul><li>JD, admission to the California bar, with at least 5 years of experience</li>
<li>Bias toward action and solving (not just spotting) problems</li>
<li>Ability to take ownership of your work and manage projects independently</li>
<li>Excellent communication and writing abilities</li>
<li>Comfort and skill in navigating complexity and ambiguity, and working on a leanly staffed team</li>
<li>Willingness to quickly dive into new and &quot;unfamiliar&quot; legal issues</li>
<li>Ability to work under pressure and autonomously, and meet tight deadlines</li>
<li>Agility and flexibility to take on new tasks and responsibilities when necessary to support the business and legal team's needs in a fast-moving, rapidly scaling, and dynamic tech company</li>
