• Highly structured, execution-driven, and data-oriented, with a relentless focus on accuracy and legal risk management.
• A sharp, detail-obsessed corporate finance lawyer with a strong understanding of venture capital deal structuring.
• A meticulous legal mind, with a keen ability to spot contractual loopholes and enforce investor protections.
• Paranoid about details, ensuring that no contractual risk or compliance oversight occurs.
• Comfortable working in a high-pressure, fast-paced investment environment, where legal precision determines deal success.

Responsibilities

The Legal Associate will be responsible for drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and ensuring the enforceability of legal documents related to venture capital investments, shareholder rights, and service-level agreements.

• Ensure that all agreements reflect Artha’s commercial interests, minimize legal risks, and align with compliance protocols.
• Conduct legal due diligence on contracts, ensuring that critical business risks and legal obligations are addressed.

Legal Governance & Risk Management
