Legal Counsel
About Us
Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.
Red Cell is hiring a mission-driven junior lawyer who wants to learn fast, work hard, and be part of a dynamic, fun, and high-performing legal team. At Red Cell, we build and invest in companies tackling some of the most challenging problems in healthcare, cyber, and national security. You’ll help make that possible by providing business-minded legal support that enables innovation and speed.
As the junior member of a small, high-performing team, you’ll report to our Assistant General Counsel and get exposure to almost everything we do. One day you might be reviewing a vendor contract; the next, helping with a financing or digging into a new regulatory question. You’ll learn fast, work closely with senior lawyers and business leaders, and play a real role in helping our mission-critical companies grow. You will be an important part of what we do.
Our legal team is tight-knit, high-performing, and genuinely enjoys working together – team meetings are productive but also usually filled with laughs. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We treat each other with respect (even when things get stressful—which they will!), and we have zero tolerance for arrogance or unkindness. Hard work, high standards, and good humor are the foundation of everything we do.
We are open to lawyers coming out of firms, in-house, government, or whatever else you chose to spend your first few years out of law school doing. Your specific professional background is less important than your drive, kindness, collaborative nature, and curiosity – we want you to be yourself. We can help you learn what you need to know, so long as you bring the right attitude.
If you’re the kind of lawyer who loves variety, thrives under pressure, and wants to grow fast as part of a team—come build with us.
