Product Counsel/Lawyer — AI, Process Design, and Adjudication

About Us

Objection is building the truth infrastructure for the next century: fast, adversarial, AI-native adjudication at civilisational scale.

We are creating a platform for structured dispute resolution — adversarial fact-checking with ELO-rated participants, AI-assisted evidentiary analysis, and transparent methodology. We operate with complete editorial and institutional independence.

We run on a deliberate cadence: three weeks per month fully distributed, asynchronous, deep work; one week per month mandatory in-person for alignment, architectural debates, and strategic decisions. When remote, we operate on GMT time.

Each month, the company meets in the city we believe is the best at that time of year. Our current rotation includes Nassau (winter), New York City (spring and autumn), and London/Europe (summer). We follow seasonality and intensity. Strategy in Nassau. Commercial tempo in NYC. Institutional engagement cycles in Europe.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a lawyer or legal professional to sit at the intersection of law, product, and process — shaping how Objection’s adjudication platform works, not just whether it complies. This is not a back-office legal role. You will be embedded in the product team, designing the rules and procedures that govern structured adversarial dispute resolution at scale.

Objection is building a new adjudicative layer for the internet. The platform’s credibility depends on procedural rigour, fairness architecture, and defensible process design. Product Counsel owns that mandate.

This role is suited for professionals accustomed to:

• Designing or operating within procedural and evidentiary frameworks

• Translating legal concepts into operational requirements

• Working at the intersection of law, technology, and institutional design

• Producing structured, precise written analysis under pressure

The Role

As Product Counsel/Lawyer, you will:

• Design and refine the procedural frameworks that govern adversarial adjudication on the platform

• Work directly with engineering and product to embed legal and procedural logic into platform architecture

• Develop rules of procedure, evidentiary standards, and fairness safeguards for AI-assisted dispute resolution

• Identify and mitigate legal, regulatory, and reputational risks across jurisdictions as the platform scales

• Build internal compliance processes and documentation systems with an automation-first mindset

• Monitor developments in AI regulation, platform liability, and digital dispute resolution and translate them into product decisions

Who You Are

Required Experience

Law degree (any jurisdiction) — qualified or on track to qualify. Genuine interest in AI, technology, and how legal process can be improved, automated, and scaled.

Core Competencies

• Ability to translate legal concepts into product requirements and vice versa

• Structured, precise written thinking — this role produces documentation that defines how the platform operates

• Comfort working inside a product team rather than a legal department

• Intellectual curiosity, speed, and a bias toward building systems over issuing opinions

• Clear, disciplined written communication

• Commitment to neutrality and procedural integrity

A traditional law firm background is not required — process design instinct and analytical rigour matter more than billable hours.

What This Role Is Not

• Not a compliance desk

• Not corporate legal or contract review

• Not advisory work at arm’s length from the product

This is designing the adjudicative machinery itself. You will shape the rules, not just interpret them.

Compensation & Structure

• Compensation: $60,000–$120,000 annually, depending on seniority

• Fully remote, with mandatory monthly in-person summits in rotating global cities (Nassau, NYC, London/Europe)

• Round-trip flights, hotel accommodation, and structured summit programming provided

• Meaningful equity grants and annual performance bonus

• We will calibrate seniority and scope to the right candidate

To Apply: Submit your CV and one piece of written work you would stake your professional reputation on — a legal memorandum, a policy paper, a procedural design document, or anything that demonstrates analytical rigour and clarity of thought.
