Technology Product Counsel

Hi. I’m Jack Chen. Nice to meet you. If you’re reading this, I’d love to connect with you to see how we might work together to grow your legal career faster while keeping the work human and flexible.

Not everyone has the standard law-school to white-shoe law firm journey. I didn’t. I am blind. I lost my eyesight at 16, went to Harvard, became an engineer, and then spent fifteen years leading projects and teams in Google and Facebook (Meta) Legal. I learned first hand how Legal helps top product orgs drive growth and ship responsibly at scale. This experience gave me the competitive edge to do things that no other person could do.

I started Everest Legal to fundamentally disrupt how in house legal departments find and deploy high quality, interim and full time legal help. And to invest in and help great lawyers like you to do the best work of their careers. Our vision is, with your help, to create the highest quality, most sought after legal organization in the technology industry.

For you, that means a fun and exciting journey where we will both learn and grow together.

It also means that we are excited about many types of candidates, for example

• Parents who want flexibility to spend time with their families
• Entrepreneurs and parents who took time off to pursue life dreams and want to get back into the work force
• Young attorneys and technologists who want to work directly with the biggest names in tech and learn from seasoned attorneys.
• Experienced law firm or inhouse attorneys who want to transition to product, privacy, and AI law and gain exposure to new clients and do the most exciting work of their careers.

We are currently seeking attorneys to serve as product counsel for our clients. We work with mid to large size technology companies for interim to full time engagements.

What makes a good fit:

• J.D. with at least 2 years of experience, State Bar, and licensed to work in the U.S
• Someone technical, either with an engineering, computer science, or equivalent degree or someone who is a self-proclaimed technology nerd like me.
• Someone who loves a big, juicy challenge because they love coming up with creative solutions, an inventor at heart.
• Someone who is passionate about creating business opportunities and helping clients grow their businesses.
• A clear and humble communicator with strong emotional intelligence that builds rapport with clients easily
• Someone who demonstrates that they care about the people they work with and cares about delivering a high quality work product
• Someone who wants to learn and grow and hone their craft

To sweeten the pot:

• Hands-on experience using LLMs to solve complex challenges
• Strong familiarity with privacy principles including GDPR.
