The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  StartupForge is hiring a General Counsel in Duluth, MN.

• Role description

  On any given day, the General Counsel at StartupForge juggles Legal Project Management and Court Filing, and somehow makes both look deliberate. This general role at StartupForge turns 1 years into $40,000 - $63,000 and turns $40,000 - $63,000 into a stake in what comes next.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare reports, summaries, and presentations for review by leadership
  • Pair Delegation fluency with the patience to explain it plainly
  • Find the deeply-bought-in workaround when the official path is blocked
  • Close the loop on every Duluth request you touch
  • Keep StartupForge's Clio pipeline humming without constant hand-holding
  • Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch
  • Use Self-Motivation to streamline routine tasks and free up capacity

  What You'll Bring

  • Familiarity with Clio and related tools or frameworks
  • A collaborator who makes the junior review feel less like an exam
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard

  Long before general was fashionable, StartupForge was already solving it for businesses scattered across MN. Every General Counsel at StartupForge owns an outcome, not just a checklist of tasks.

  Step into $40,000 - $63,000, real mentorship, a benefits package that delivers, and the kind of flexible part-time rhythm people rarely leave.

  We just refreshed it, so the general role counts as live and hiring.

  Bring your Legal Project Management, your questions, and your ambition; we'll bring the rest at StartupForge.
