Commercial Contracts Associate (NDA)

About Norm

Norm builds AI-native professional services firms and the technology that powers them. Our mission is to help expert professionals deliver better work at greater scale.

Developing the technology and the firms together lets us rethink how work gets done, how teams operate and what clients can expect. Professional judgment and experience guide what we build, while advances in the technology expand what our firms can deliver. Our shared agentic platform connects that progress across teams and services.

Founded in 2023, Norm brings together experts across engineering, research, product, design and professional practice. Our legal and compliance platform serves institutions representing more than $35 trillion in combined assets under management.

Norm also powers Norm Law, LLP, an affiliated AI-native law firm whose attorneys advise leading institutions on complex corporate matters.

AI Fluency:
Norm prefers all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

This Role

As a Commercial Contracts Associate (NDA), you will work on a high impact team that provides important services to Norm Law’s clients, while using AI agents to streamline the drafting, review, and execution process in providing non-disclosure agreement review for clients. You’ll collaborate closely with partners, clients, and technology teams to deliver efficient, precise, and data-driven legal services for in-house legal teams of leading asset managers.

Our practice embraces the use of AI to reduce burden and increase your ability to focus on strategic legal judgment and client engagement.

What You'll Do

• Document Drafting, Review, and Negotiation: Leverage AI agents to generate, compare, negotiate, and redline NDAs tailored to client guidelines

• Incorporating Legal Context: Advise clients on their NDA playbooks and market standards, including ensuring AI agents understand each client's specific context and comparing client’s actual practices with playbook positions in order to guide updates.

• NDA Execution: Integrate AI agents into workflow management, execution, negotiation, and coordination with counterparties for any NDAs.

• Client Advisory: Partner with clients to demonstrate how AI-assisted workflows improve accuracy, transparency, and velocity.

• Collaboration with Tech: Work closely with the technology teams to continue to make the NDA review process even more efficient using AI.

• Managing high volumes of requests: Maintain a tracker, manage multiple high priority requests simultaneously and communicate timing expectations to clients and consistently and proactively follow up and move negotiations forward.
