Corporate Counsel - Transactions & Privacy (Temp-to-Hire) (Atlanta)

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.
