Role Description The Internal Counsel position is a remote, work-from-home role, as are all positions at Acceleration Partners. Some travel is required for client meetings, internal meetings, conferences, and other events. Ideally, this candidate would be in EST or CST. Acceleration Partners has grown significantly over the last several years, and with that growth has come increasingly complex legal needs. Our global footprint now spans Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia, and we work with some of the world's leading brands. We are looking for full-time Legal Counsel who will serve as our in-house legal resource across contracts, and occasionally support compliance, data privacy, and HR matters. This role serves as a key legal partner to the business, providing practical, risk-balanced guidance while enabling commercial objectives across a globally distributed organization. This is a unique opportunity for an attorney who wants meaningful, substantive work, applying deep legal expertise in a more focused, flexible environment — fully remote. At Acceleration Partners, everything we do comes back to three core values: Own It, Embrace Relationships, and Excel & Improve. This role requires contract expertise, sound judgment, and the ability to build trust quickly with internal teams and external clients alike. Qualifications - Deep contract law expertise and sound judgment. - Comfortable operating independently with minimal oversight. - Ability to translate complex legal language into plain, clear guidance for non-lawyers. - Practical, business-minded approach to legal decisions. - Working familiarity with data privacy concepts (e.g., GDPR) as applied in commercial contracts. - Organized, deadline-driven, and takes personal ownership of work. - Thrive in a remote environment and communicate proactively with distributed teams. - Looking for a role with real responsibility and a manageable pace. - Able to operate as a trusted advisor, balancing legal risk with business objectives. Requirements - J.D. and active bar membership (or retired in good standing). - 8+ years of legal experience, with meaningful depth in contract law. - Prior in-house or agency/services industry experience preferred. - Experience with data protection/privacy matters (e.g., GDPR, cross-border data transfers, DPAs) strongly preferred. - Experience advising on employment and HR-related legal matters is a plus but not required. - Strong communication skills — written and verbal — with the ability to work across functions. - Comfortable with international contracts and multi-jurisdictional considerations. - Confident making decisions independently while knowing when to escalate. Benefits - 100% remote work for everyone. - Group medical, dental, and vision coverage insurance (with opt-out benefits). - 401K with matching. - Open Paid Time Off. - Summer & Holiday Wellness Breaks in July and December. - Volunteer and Birthday Time Off. - Focus Fridays. - Paid Parental Leave Benefits. - Wellness, Technology & Education Allowances. - Paid sabbatical leaves, donation matching, and more! - Target base salary is $160-180K + bonus depending on location and experience. - Benefits may vary based on employment status or country location.
