AGC, Head of Litigation

The posting, as Reflection wrote it

OUR MISSION

Reflection is a research lab making intelligence open and accessible for everyone to use, customize, and build on. We build open models that let anyone control their intelligence and help shape the future of AI. Our mission: make intelligence open and accessible to all.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Reflection is hiring an experienced, business-minded litigation leader to build and lead our litigation and investigations function. You will serve as the company’s principal legal advisor on disputes and contentious matters, own litigation strategy across a broad portfolio, and establish the systems and processes that prepare Reflection for its next stage of growth.

You will combine strategic leadership with hands-on execution: assessing emerging threats, directing significant matters, advising senior leadership, managing outside counsel, and building practical approaches to litigation readiness, discovery, subpoenas, and investigations. Your remit will include complex technology and intellectual property disputes, commercial matters, and regulatory investigations, with responsibility for coordinating other disputes across the business.

You will work closely with our Head of Product & Regulatory and colleagues across Legal, Research, Engineering, Safety, Security, and the business to anticipate risk and inform decisions about model development, open-weight releases, and commercialization. You will help turn lessons from disputes and investigations into better advice, stronger processes, and informed business decisions.

This is an opportunity to define and operationalize an important legal function at a frontier AI company. You should be equally comfortable recommending a strategy to executives, working through technical facts with researchers, improving a legal brief, and building a process that the company can use repeatedly.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Develop, execute and own Reflection’s approach to threatened and active disputes, including copyright and other intellectual property claims, commercial disputes, privacy and consumer claims, and other significant matters.

• Drive matters from initial assessment through resolution. Develop case strategy, assess exposure and business implications, oversee factual development and discovery, guide briefing and witness preparation, and recommend settlement, trial, and appellate strategies. Pursue affirmative claims when they advance Reflection’s interests.
• Build the litigation function. Establish practical systems for matter intake, escalation, deadline management, case assessment, budgeting, reporting, and knowledge management. Define the function’s operating model and processes, and develop its resourcing and team-building plan as company needs evolve.
• Own litigation readiness and discovery. Design and oversee legal-hold, preservation, collection, review,
