The Legal Team

Philo’s Legal Team Vision Statement is: To partner with our phellow Philons, delivering practical legal and strategic business solutions that empower Philo to create the television experience everyone who loves TV has always wanted.

Philo is reinventing television, and the Legal Team touches every facet of the company’s business, including business development, programming, HR, advertising, marketing, engineering and product development and corporate matters.   Philo is moving at light speed, and all its operating teams are multi-dimensional and interconnected.

Philo’s Legal Team consists of a full-time Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”) supported by several prominent law firms. We are ready to expand our in-house capabilities and reduce our reliance on outside legal resources, beginning with this search for our first Senior Legal Counsel (“SLC”).

The Role

The principal responsibilities of the SLC will be to: advise and assist Philo’s deal teams by reviewing, negotiating, and drafting complex commercial contracts, including network affiliation agreements, vendor MSA’s, IO’s and SOW’s; identify potential issues concerning data, privacy, and intellectual property; and alert legal and business teams of legal risks and provide actionable risk mitigation recommendations.

The SLC will also assist the Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”) in developing the Legal Team’s best practices, crafting standard legal document templates, and growing the Legal Team’s in-house capabilities and resources.

Extensive, relevant legal and business experience and expertise are just the ante for this position, the SLC must be perceptive, confident (but not arrogant) and collaborative.

As the new Senior Legal Counsel will be working closely with the CLO, we are looking for the right candidate in Denver.

Projected Start Date: ASAP
Status: Full-time
Location: Denver, CO preferred but not required
Compensation: Competitive salary, company stock options and health benefits.
