The posting

WHY HARVEY

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

- Execute on M&A and other strategic transactions, including due diligence, structuring deal structures and term sheets, drafting and reviewing definitive agreements and negotiating key legal and business terms, managing signing, closing and post-closing integration, and overseeing outside counsel

- Design, implement, and continuously improve scalable legal processes, templates, and playbooks to drive efficiency, consistency, and best practices across M&A and other strategic transactions

- Act as a trusted business partner to stakeholders across the company, including Corp Dev, Finance, People, Product, and Operations

- Support adjacent corporate matters as needed, including entity management, employment and compensation, real estate, and insurance

WHAT YOU HAVE

- JD degree and licensed to practice in either California or New York in good standing

- 4-6+ years of relevant legal experience in M&A transactions and the ability to flex across adjacent corporate matters

- At least 4 years in the M&A group of a top-tier law firm, preferably as a 5th year+ associate and with buy-side experience representing fast-growing technology companies

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, manage competing priorities, and think creatively and strategically under tight timelines

- Team-focused and collaborative working style; strong sense of ownership and comfort operating independently in a rapidly evolving practice

- Exceptional communication skills and intellectual curiosity, with the ability to drive stakeholder alignment, exercise sound judgment and provide solutions-oriented legal advice

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
