Company Description
First Principles Law is a boutique corporate law firm advising founders, investors, companies, and family offices across PE, VC and M&A; transactions and strategic legal advisory. FPL was founded with a different belief — that the best legal advice begins with first principles, by challenging assumptions to focus on what truly matters. The Firm takes pride in a partner-led approach to service delivery and client relationships, with the goal of becoming a long-term collaborator.

Our Values
Fairness, Quality, Flexibility, Humility, Inclusiveness, Empathy and Fun (not flippant) - are the lenses we hire through. More on what they mean to us here: https://firstprincipleslaw.com/hello-world-the-journey-to-first-principles-law/

Role Description
The partners are building a firm that is excellent at work and just as excellent in how it treats its people. These are not trade-offs. The work is demanding and the standards are high, because our clients deserve nothing less. And in return, so do you: you will be respected, supported, fairly rewarded,



and treated the way we would want to be treated ourselves.

What that looks like day to day:
- Trust by default - no micromanagement, no hourly targets, no time-sheet quotas. It works because everyone here holds themselves to the standard without being asked.
- Real ownership - we are a small team, so you will run workstreams, deal with clients directly and see transactions from term sheet to closing. Your work is visible, and so is your judgment.
- Learning, built in - you will work directly with the partners. They put real time into helping you think from first principles, not just from precedent.
- Outcomes over hours - we care about getting it right and getting it done well, and not about how long it takes. Nobody gets points for staying late.
- AI as a tool, not a crutch - everyone has an enterprise AI licence. We expect you to use it, and to stand behind every line it helps you produce.
