Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.
We're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.
Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

Solace is scaling fast, and the corporate and finance work that comes with that is scaling too. We're looking for a lawyer who can own that work and grow into more of it as we do.
Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, you'll be the go-to lawyer for financing and strategic transactions, M&A, and corporate governance, while helping get us IPO-ready from a legal and process standpoint. You'll work closely with Corporate Development, Finance, and Compliance, so this is a position for someone who likes to collaborate cross-functionally. We’re flexible on seniority for the role; what matters more than the label is whether you can move fast, exercise business judgment, and build the corporate and governance infrastructure of a company that's headed toward the public markets.
Facilitate financing and strategic transactions, including equity and debt raises, credit facilities, and other capital markets activity, from structuring through close.
Counsel on M&A and strategic transactions, from diligence through execution and integration, including drafting and negotiating LOIs, NDAs, purchase agreements, and ancillary closing documents.
Help build the governance and compliance infrastructure to support public company readiness.
Support corporate governance, including board and committee materials, notices, agendas, minutes, resolutions, and consents, and help mature these processes as the company scales.
Oversee entity management across our corporate structure, including formation, qualification, compliance, and dissolution of said entities.
Build and maintain policies and procedures for compliance with securities regulations applicable to public companies.
Partner closely with Corporate Development, Finance, and Compliance on transaction strategy, risk management, audits, equity plans, and internal controls.
Build the templates, playbooks, and internal processes that let a small legal team support a fast-scaling business without reinventing the wheel every time.
Manage relationships with outside counsel and other advisors on corporate, securities, and transactional matters.
JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing.
3-9+ years of corporate, transactional, and securities law experience; we care more about what you've actually done than the number on your resume.
Experience with financing transactions, M&A, and corporate governance, with in-house experience strongly preferred.
IPO readiness background, with public company and SEC reporting experience a plus, not a requirement.
Healthcare, marketplace, or other regulated-industry experience is helpful but not required.
Strong instincts on risk versus velocity, and the judgment to know what needs to be escalated to leadership.
Excellent negotiation, drafting, and project management skills, with the ability to run complex, cross-functional transactions on tight timelines.
Applicants must be based in the United States.
Up for the Challenge?
We look forward to meeting you.
