Job description

Our client, a high-growth Atlanta-based corporation, is seeking a Senior Corporate Counsel to join their legal team on a temp-to-hire basis. This role is ideal for a seasoned attorney with strong transactional experience and a solid understanding of privacy / data-security frameworks. You will work closely with business leaders on complex deals, technology agreements, and enterprise-wide compliance initiatives that impact the company's strategic direction.

This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished attorney to step directly into high-impact work with a path to long-term placement.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage complex corporate transactions, including mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships, equity financings, and major commercial contracts.
Draft, negotiate, and advise on a wide range of commercial and technology agreements.
Provide guidance on privacy, data-protection, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance (GDPR, CCPA, and emerging state laws).
Collaborate with internal business units, executive leadership, and external counsel to drive operational alignment and risk-mitigation strategies.
Develop, refine, and implement policies, procedures, and best practices across transactional and privacy functions.
Support corporate governance, compliance reviews, and special projects as the business evolves.
Deliver timely, practical legal advice to support fast-paced decision-making across the organization.

Required Qualifications

Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.

Active membership with the Georgia Bar, or eligibility to obtain admission.

7-12+ years of experience in corporate transactions, ideally with a blend of law firm and in-house experience.

Strong background in complex contracting, M&A, and general corporate matters.

Working knowledge of privacy / data-security laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.); technology licensing experience highly preferred.

Excellent communication skills, business judgment, and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

Strong organizational discipline and comfort operating in a fast-moving corporate environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Temp-to-hire path into a senior in-house role.

Hybrid schedule offering work-life balance and flexibility.

Exposure to high-value transactions within a major Atlanta corporate ecosystem.

Chance to influence privacy, data, and tech strategy in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.

Collaborative, forward-thinking culture with strong executive support.
