Teamshares acquires small businesses from retiring owners, transitions them to new leadership, and grants meaningful equity to employees. Our mission is to create $10 billion in wealth for working Americans by building a network of 10,000 employee-owned companies.
We are in the early days of building a durable public company. Over the past several years, we have continuously adapted and strengthened our model — improving financial discipline, governance rigor, and operational systems across our network. This is a pivotal moment for our Legal team.
The Role
We are seeking a strategic, business-oriented attorney to join our Legal team and lead across core corporate work — governance, securities, and strategic transactions — while partnering closely with Finance, Accounting, Strategy, and executive leadership.
This is a high-impact role with real ownership and visibility. You will help design and institutionalize the legal and governance infrastructure required to scale a multi-entity operating company and transition to public-company readiness.
The ideal candidate combines strong technical corporate and securities expertise with sound judgment, operational pragmatism, and a bias toward building durable systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Corporate Governance & Public Company Readiness
Assist with board and committee operations, including preparation of materials, resolutions, written consents, and governance documentation.
Maintain corporate formalities across Teamshares and affiliated entities, ensuring compliance with state, federal, and international requirements.
Help design and implement scalable governance processes to support public company readiness, including SEC reporting preparation, insider trading policies, disclosure controls, and compliance with the 1933 and 1934 Acts.
Partner with Finance and Accounting to support internal controls over financial reporting and audit readiness.
Maintain organized, auditable systems for tracking governance documents, equity records, and regulatory filings.
Transactions & Financial Operations
Provide legal support for debt compliance and capital structure optimization.
Support implementation of processes that will scale in a public-company environment.
Equity & Ownership Management
Oversee the company’s equity plans and incentive programs.
Advise on issuance, transfer, repurchase, and restructuring of shares and options.
Coordinate with Finance and HR on equity grants and employee equity education.
Help ensure compliance with securities exemptions and public-company reporting obligations.
Risk Management & Cross-Functional Partnership
Advise executive leadership on legal risk with financial, governance, or strategic implications.
Help develop and roll out internal policies reflecting public-company standards.
Coordinate with external counsel efficiently and cost-effectively.
Provide training on governance, equity, and securities compliance.
Required Qualifications
