What Is This Role Like?
We're hiring a Paralegal to help keep Topsort’s legal operations running smoothly, with accuracy, responsiveness, and sound judgment as we grow internationally.
You'll work closely with our attorney to support commercial contracting, compliance, and corporate matters, improve legal workflows, and independently manage routine requests within approved guidelines.
What You'll Own
- Commercial Contracts: Review incoming contracts, flag deviations for attorney review, and prepare routine agreements using approved templates. Manage standard NDAs and coordinate contracts through signature.
- Business Support: Coordinate responses to customer questionnaires, RFPs, and vendor onboarding with relevant teams, and develop resources for common legal questions.
- Legal Operations: Manage legal intake, contract records, templates, and playbooks. Use approved tools, AI, and automation where appropriate to improve workflows while protecting confidential information.
- Compliance & Research: Track legal and compliance deadlines, prepare policy drafts for attorney review, and summarize relevant legal and regulatory developments.
- Corporate Coordination: Support international entity management, notarization and apostille processes, and outside counsel coordination, including invoices and legal spend.
- Continuity & Escalation: Keep routine requests and pending matters moving during attorney absences, working within approved guidelines and escalating issues that require legal judgment.
What Success Looks Like
- Reliable Contract Execution: Routine agreements move efficiently from intake to signature, with complete information, accurate documentation, and deviations surfaced before execution.
- Deadline & Record Accuracy: Renewals, filings, and compliance obligations are visible and tracked, with timely follow-up and accessible, up-to-date records.
- Efficient Legal Support: Requests have clear priorities, owners, and next steps. Templates, playbooks, and self-serve resources help teams resolve common needs and reduce repetitive work.
- Sound Judgment & Continuity: Routine matters progress within approved boundaries, issues requiring attorney review are escalated with useful context, and pending work remains organized during absences.
What You'll Bring

- Relevant Experience: 2+ years of paralegal experience, ideally in-house or in commercial or corporate law.

- Judgment & Discretion: Confidence handling routine matters independently, recognizing when to escalate, and protecting sensitive company, commercial, and employee information.
- Communication & Ownership: Clear, concise writing, professional stakeholder communication, proactive follow-through, and the ability to learn new processes quickly.
Nice To Have:
- Experience in technology or SaaS companies.
- Strong written and spoken Spanish, particularly for reviewing documents and communicating with colleagues, counterparties, and outside counsel.
