About ContractBazaarContractBazaar, a Legal-Tech platform by Lex Mores Tech, is building a technology-enabled legal ecosystem for startups, MSMEs and growing businesses.

We combine legal expertise, technology and process-driven legal services to help businesses prevent legal risks, make better decisions and operate with greater legal clarity.

We are looking for a lawyer who can go beyond simply drafting documents — someone who can understand the client's business, identify legal and commercial risks, advise the client and translate that advice into practical legal solutions.

Role OverviewAs a Senior Associate / Client-Facing Corporate Lawyer, you will independently manage client consultations and legal matters across corporate-commercial transactions, contracts, labour and employment law, risk mitigation and shareholder-related documentation.

The role requires strong legal analysis, drafting ability, commercial understanding and client-handling skills.

You will be expected to take ownership of matters from understanding the client's requirement → analysing the legal/commercial risk → advising the client → drafting/reviewing documents → negotiating where required → closing the matter.
