Drive a culture of clarity, ownership, and continuous learning within the legal function. Maintain strong working relationships with Artha's external counsel across general corporate, litigation, and fund-specific mandates. Serve as the internal bridge between Artha's operating teams and its legal advisors-ensuring direction, efficiency, and alignment. Own quality control, budget optimization, and execution timelines across all outsourced legal engagements. 5+ years of progressive legal experience across corporate law, transactions, entity structuring, and fund formation. Prior exposure to venture capital, private equity, investment banking, or family office ecosystems preferred. Exceptional command of contract law, corporate governance, and regulatory nuance. Demonstrated ability to lead high-context negotiations and execute legal workstreams at speed and scale. Proven team builder with a sharp operational mindset and high attention to detail. Proficient with contract lifecycle tools, digital documentation systems, and cloud-based legal operations.
