• Conduct legal research and prepare summaries on legislation and case law in Colombia and relevant LATAM jurisdictions.
• Assist in drafting, reviewing, and organizing contracts, including service agreements, NDAs, data protection documents, and IP transfer clauses.
• Help maintain and improve company policies, templates, and internal guidelines for compliance and corporate governance.
• Contribute, alongside internal team members and external advisers, to projects involving the establishment and maintenance of R&D offices for foreign technology companies entering the LATAM market (e.g., coordinating vendors, supporting local registrations, and assisting with the implementation of client-specific policies).
• Support the ongoing legal and corporate compliance of Alcor’s Colombian entity through document review, process alignment, and coordination with internal stakeholders and local advisers.

Requirements

• 1–4 years of experience in tax, labor, corporate, or commercial law (internship or paralegal experience in international or IT-related environments is an advantage).
• Upper-intermediate (B2) level of English or higher, both spoken and written.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Law (Derecho).
• Eligible to practice law in Colombia (tarjeta profesional, or in progress).
• Solid understanding of Colombian commercial, corporate and tax law, plus basic familiarity with either labor, intellectual property, or data protection law.
• Experience with contracts, legal research, corporate support, or compliance processes.
• Interest in the technology sector; staying current on legal trends and best practices.
• Attention to detail and analytical thinking.
• Proactive, responsible, and client-oriented mindset.

Nice to Have

• Internship or paralegal experience in international or IT-related environments.
• Experience with technology companies, international clients, outsourcing models, foreign-owned businesses, or cross-border operations.

We Offer

• Salary & Terms. A decent income linked to the dollar exchange rate, plus a flexible 8-hour work schedule.
• Insurance. Compensation for medical insurance after passing the probationary period.
• Team & Culture. Work with a friendly team of professionals in a great culture built on fun, openness, self-development, and the drive to achieve wow effects - within a cross-cultural international legal team, working closely with colleagues in other locations and a Spanish-speaking mentor.
• Learning & Growth. Exposure to a broad range of legal matters across different jurisdictions, not just Colombian ones - from drafting to compliance follow-up - with support from internal experts and external advisers, and gradual ownership guided by a structured Personal Development Plan (PDP).
• Global Reach. Direct work with international technology companies as they expand into and operate in the LATAM market.
