Full time
Your mission

This is not a traditional legal support role. We are looking for a decisive, action-oriented Legal Counsel to join our Legal team. You will act as a true business partner, working closely with leadership to drive decisions, remove blockers, and enable fast, confident execution across the company. We operate at the intersection of art and technology, where speed, clarity, and smart risk-taking matter. Your role is to ensure that legal thinking accelerates the business—not slows it down. Your contributions will directly impact the company’s strategic initiatives, ensuring that our creative endeavors are grounded in sound legal principles while enabling bold, transformative business initiatives. You will also play an important role in coordinating legal projects, managing relationships with external advisors, and helping drive efficient legal processes across the organization.

Your responsibilities

What type of Legal Counsel thrives at Displate?
We move fast. We value clear judgment, decisive action, and the ability to turn problems into solutions without slowing the business. You will thrive here if you:

  • make decisions quickly using structured judgment
  • use AI tools to research, analyze, and draft at speed
  • simplify complex matters into clear recommendations
  • remove blockers rather than create them
  • operate independently with strong accountability
  • enjoy owning outcomes instead of advising from the sidelines

This role is for someone who wants to build, drive, and shape the future of Displate, not someone who wants to maintain the status quo.

What  will you get done?

  • Act as a strategic business partner to the CEO and leadership team and provide clear decision recommendations, not only legal analysis.
  • Drive fast and efficient legal execution across the organization with a bias for action.
  • Use AI tools to accelerate research, drafting, risk assessments, and regulatory analysis to support rapid decision making.
  • Own end to end drafting, negotiation, and execution of key commercial agreements across licensing, distribution, partnerships, and insurance.
  • Build scalable legal frameworks, playbooks, and templates so the business can move faster with fewer bottlenecks.
  • Manage the global intellectual property portfolio and ensure fast resolution of IP challenges.
  • Lead cross border legal projects with clear deadlines and structured execution.
  • Anticipate risks early and present solutions that enable the business to move forward at speed.
  • Coordinate external advisors while maintaining internal ownership of decisions.

Your skills & experience
  • Master’s degree in Law
  • Admission to the bar association (radca prawny / adwokat)
  • 6+ years of professional experience in a similar role or a reputable law firm (civil, commercial, corporate, IP law)
  • Experience in e-commerce, consumer law, and new technology law
  • Proven track record in managing international, multi-stakeholder projects
  • Strong drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills with attention to detail
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and operate in a fast-paced environment
  • Proactive, solution-oriented mindset with strong ownership
  • Knowledge of legal information systems (Legalis, LEX)
  • Fluency in English (C1)

If you prefer long legal memos, slow processes, or heavy oversight, this role will not be a fit.
