Position Hiring for : Associate Partner - Legal
Department - Legal
Location: BKC, Mumbai

Who are we looking for?

Treelife is hiring an Associate Partner to own and grow the Legal practice. This is a practice-lead role with full accountability for delivery, client relationships, P&L;, hiring, and growth. Originating work and expanding the client base is as central to the mandate as running the legal work itself.

A commercially minded lawyer who can run a practice as a business: win work, deepen client relationships, hire and lead a team, and be fully accountable for quality and results. Solid contracting craft is assumed. Proven hunger and ability to originate and grow a book of business is essential.

Reports to: Founder

What will be your key responsibilities?
Business development and client growth
Originate recent Corporate Commerical work and personally drive revenue for the practice.
Build and execute a go-to-market for Commercial Contracts, with a transparent focus on startups and the tech industry.
Convert relationships, referrals,



and inbound interest into retainers and mandates. Own the full sales cycle from first conversation to signed engagement.
Cultivate deep, long-term relationships with founders, C-suite, and in-house counsel, operating as a trusted business advisor rather than transactional outside counsel.
Expand existing accounts: deepen wallet share, lead renewals and expansions, and identify and close cross-sell into Treelife’s other practice areas.
Represent Treelife in the market: thought leadership, networks, events, and targeted outreach that build a visible pipeline.
Develop a repeatable BD rhythm for the practice (pipeline, pursuits, conversion) and coach the team to contribute to growth, not only delivery.
Practice leadership
Independently draft, review, redline, and negotiate mid to high complexity contracts (SaaS, MSA, SOW, amendments, change orders) and secure favourable positions for clients.
Own the full contract lif
