Corporate Paralegal
Job Title: Corporate Paralegal
Location: New York, NY
Experience: 5+ Years of Experience
Employment Type: Full-Time
ROLE OVERVIEW
We’re looking for a detail-oriented Corporate Paralegal to join our lean legal team and work directly with the General Counsel. This is a hands-on role spanning three areas: commercial contract management, corporate compliance, and IP/patent administration.
If you have strong contract and compliance instincts, enjoy building systems and processes, and thrive in a fast-moving tech environment, this role is for you. Prior in-house or SaaS company experience is a plus, but not a dealbreaker for the right candidate.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Contract Management
- Maintain Pixalate’s contract repository in Salesforce — ensuring MSAs, Service Orders, amendments, and NDAs are organized and audit-ready.
- Track critical contract dates (renewal windows, NTC deadlines, fee escalations) and alert internal stakeholders proactively.
- Manage the annual MST update workflow: coordinating notice campaigns, tracking client responses, and maintaining a clean audit trail.
- Support redline reviews by summarizing client-proposed changes and flagging material deviations for attorney review.
- Draft routine amendments, NDAs, vendor agreements, and renewal notices under attorney supervision.
- Partner with sales, finance, and customer success to keep contract data accurate and in sync with billing records.
Corporate Compliance
- Maintain good standing for all Pixalate legal entities across U.S. and international jurisdictions (annual reports, franchise tax, registered agent management).
- Manage foreign qualification filings and coordinate with registered agents (e.g., CT Corporation, CSC) as needed.
- Maintain corporate records including minute books, resolutions, and officer/director registers.
- Support internal governance processes: board consents, officer certifications, and entity-level documents.
- Monitor regulatory developments relevant to Pixalate’s business (privacy, ad-tech, data processing) and flag key updates.
IP & Patent Administration
- Maintain Pixalate’s IP docket — tracking patents (pending and granted), trademarks, and copyrights with all prosecution deadlines.
- Coordinate with outside IP counsel on prosecution, office action responses, and maintenance fee payments.
- Organize IP assignment agreements, inventor declarations, and chain-of-title documentation.
- Support IP due diligence preparation for investor, financing, and M&A purposes.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of paralegal experience in a corporate law firm, in-house legal department, or legal operations role. (SaaS or tech industry experience is a plus, not a requirement.)
- Paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved program, or a bachelor’s degree with equivalent qualifying experience.
- Demonstrated experience managing commercial contracts end-to-end, including SaaS or subscription-based agreements.
- Hands-on experience with Salesforce or a comparable contract management platform.
- Ability to independently manage high-volume notice campaigns with accuracy and on deadline.
- Exposure to multi-jurisdictional corporate entity compliance (Secretary of State filings, annual reports, registered agent coordination).
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Word (tracked changes, redlining), Excel, and document management systems.
Nice to Have
- Experience with IP or patent portfolio administration and working with outside IP counsel.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted legal workflows (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) for drafting, summarization, and research.
- Prior experience in a high-growth startup or technology company.
