In-house Legal Counsel

About the Position

We are seeking an In-house Legal Counsel to manage international commercial contracts and provide legal support for projects at ATAS. This is a full-time, long-term role with the possibility of remote work, and our office is located in Riga.

About ATAS and the Role

ATAS is a professional platform for financial market, trading volume, and order flow analysis. We develop an analytics product for traders and work with brokers, prop trading firms, technology providers, and marketing partners.

Our volume of contracts and business projects is growing. We are looking for a lawyer to take ownership of international commercial contracts and legal support for projects - from clarifying the brief and commercial model through to signing and performance of the agreed obligations.

You should understand counterparties’ business models and help the project owner clarify the proposed arrangement, assess risks, and find a workable solution. Personal trading experience is not required. Our existing team and external advisers handle corporate and tax matters; these are not the core of this role.

Responsibilities

• International commercial contracts. Draft and manage partnership, agency, referral, integration, marketing, and contractor agreements. Propose structures that reflect the economics of each arrangement and account for tax and regulatory risks. Work with revenue sharing, SLAs, data and software rights, and restrictions on their use.
• Counterparty contracts and negotiations. Review English-language documents governed by foreign law, prepare amendments, and negotiate them with counterparties’ legal teams through to signing. Maintain agreements for our distributed team across jurisdictions in line with the group’s structure and business model.
• Legal support for projects. Get involved early in new products, features, monetization models, partnership programs, and marketing campaigns. Help the business clarify its requirements, prepare user agreements, terms of use, and other necessary documents, and support each project through to completion.
• Regulatory matters and compliance. Assess partners’ regulatory status and how their activities affect ATAS’s legal position. Analyze the boundary between an analytics product and an investment service, and document the legal position. Maintain the existing sanctions screening process. Address complex issues in advertising and public materials and develop guidance for Marketing; an internal tool handles the initial content review.
• External advisers and processes. Engage specialist advisers when needed on particular jurisdictions, corporate matters, and intellectual property: define the brief, assess their conclusions, and turn them into practical decisions. Help organize templates, registers, and the contract approval process.

Requirements

• Education and experience. A law degree and at least 4 years of experience with commercial contracts, including at least 2 years working on English-language agreements governed by foreign law. Experience supporting product and partnership projects, not just individual documents.
• Industry understanding. Experience providing legal support to brokerage, prop trading, tradetech, or adjacent fintech projects. You should understand these business models and the contractual and regulatory issues arising in relationships between companies. We will assess adjacent experience, including iGaming, based on the substance of the projects involved.
• Contractual and regulatory practice. Knowledge of EU law and a practical understanding of MiFID II and MiCA. Experience in sanctions compliance and KYC/AML. Confidence working with liability caps, indemnities, data and software licenses, rights to work product, revenue-share calculations, termination, and its consequences.
• Languages and ownership. Professional proficiency in Russian and English. The ability to own a matter independently, identify missing information, and explain clearly what is critical, what the options are, and who needs to decide.

Nice to Have

• Experience with financial regulators, partnership programs, and influencer marketing in a related industry
• Building contract processes
• Corporate structuring, IP, and trademarks
• Experience with chargebacks, Visa/Mastercard, and payment providers such as Adyen, PayPal, Stripe, or similar
