About the job

Keystone is a premier economics, technology, and strategy consulting firm built to help companies lead through transformation. As breakthrough innovations reshape industries, redefine competition and change our society, complex and highly competitive ecosystems emerge. Keystone advises technology leaders, Fortune 100 companies, their legal counsel, and governments on business, economic, litigation, and regulatory strategy in relation to these innovations and competitive eco-systems. We operate globally from offices in Boston, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., London, Dubai, and Bengaluru.

About the General Counsel Role

Keystone is seeking its first General Counsel as an independent company. This is a foundational leadership role with real influence — ideal for someone who wants to build, shape, and lead rather than inherit a mature function. The General Counsel will serve as a strategic partner to the CEO, executive team, and Board, leading legal, compliance, and risk while actively enabling the business.

Key Responsibilities

Advise the CEO, leadership team, and Board on legal, governance, and risk matters

Build and lead Keystone’s legal function, creating scalable systems that support growth

Oversee key commercial agreements, partnerships, and strategic alliances

Partner with revenue and business-development leaders to improve contracting efficiency

Manage outside counsel relationships across top-tier firms and boutiques

Own governance, compliance, and risk frameworks for a PE-backed business

Navigate complex matters involving privilege, conflicts, and sensitive stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

This role may be a strong fit if you are a senior in-house legal leader (AGC, Deputy GC, or GC) or a senior law-firm partner with deep experience advising PE-backed or platform businesses.

You bring strong commercial judgment, comfort in high-change environments, sophistication around sensitive legal matters, and interest in building something durable and meaningful.
