About R3

We're building the on-ramp for the next trillion dollars of assets to move on-chain. R3 bridges TradFi and DeFi through institutional-grade RWA yield vaults, fully composable and integrated into Solana DeFi.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a mid-level in-house lawyer ready to step into a sole counsel position. You'll be R3's day-to-day legal partner - owning commercial contracting end-to-end, advising on go-to-market activity, and helping to shape the legal framework for products at the cutting edge of tokenisation, digital assets and Web3.

High-visibility, high-autonomy. You'll work close to product and revenue in a fast-moving environment, developing expertise in one of the most exciting areas of the financial technology landscape.

What You'll Do

Draft, negotiate and manage the full spectrum of commercial agreements: SaaS licences, MSAs, partnership and reseller arrangements, NDAs, DPAs and DORA addendums.
Represent R3 in discussions and negotiations with the independent Foundation which governs the Protocol we are building, being highly collaborative day-to-day whilst ensuring R3’s interests are protected.
Be the trusted legal partner to sales, business development and marketing, moving at commercial pace, structuring deals creatively, and giving commercial advice that moves things forward.
Review product, marketing and GTM collateral for legal and regulatory risk.
Support strategic projects in tokenisation, DeFi and Web3, bringing in external counsel where needed.
Build the infrastructure - templates, playbooks, internal guidance - that enables the business to move faster within sensible risk tolerance.
Manage external counsel where instructed, keeping it focused and cost-effective.

What You'll Bring

Essential:

You are a qualified solicitor in England & Wales (or equivalent common law jurisdiction with the right to practice in the UK), with 5+ years PQE.
Prior in-house experience at a tech, fintech or financial services business.
Solid general commercial law experience, with a proven track record of drafting technology contracts, ideally in a financial environment.
Working knowledge of digital assets, DeFi and Web3, including familiarity with on-chain product structures such as yield vaults, token frameworks, and SPV/fund-wrapper arrangements used in RWA tokenisation.
Sharp commercial instincts; you find solutions, not blockers.
Proven ability to support fast-moving sales and marketing teams: prioritising hard, pushing back when needed, delivering under pressure.
Confident operating as the only lawyer in the room, while knowing when to escalate.
Clear communicator who can translate legal complexity into plain guidance.

Desirable:

Background in traditional financial services or financial market infrastructure (TradFi) in either private practice or in-house.
Experience advising on token generation events (TGEs) or utility token structures, and familiarity with relevant UK, EU or US regulatory frameworks (e.g. UK financial promotions regime, MiCA, MAS, MAR, AML/CTF).
Experience with UK GDPR, IP licensing or open-source software issues.

Why R3

Real autonomy from day one - your work will directly shape how we operate and go to market.
A front-row seat on the tokenisation and digital assets space, working with leading institutional clients and partners.
A culture that values pragmatism and ownership over process.
Competitive salary, equity, and benefits.
