Part-time Commercial Counsel - Join Robert Half in San Francisco's Clean Energy Revolution
Robert Half is proud to partner with a dynamic, venture-backed SaaS company at the forefront of clean energy technology. We're seeking an experienced Part-time Commercial Counsel to provide critical legal support during a surge in deal activity. Based in the heart of San Francisco, California, this contract role offers the perfect opportunity for a seasoned attorney to deliver hands-on expertise in customer-facing commercial contracts. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, excel at drafting and negotiating SaaS agreements, and want to contribute to sustainable innovation, this position is your chance to make an impact.
This part-time role, paying $55 per hour, is designed for professionals who can hit the ground running, working independently to support sales workflows and ensure seamless contract execution.

Key Responsibilities
Your day-to-day will focus on streamlining legal processes to accelerate business momentum:
- Draft and negotiate core agreements: Master SaaS subscriptions, MSAs, order forms, SOWs, and amendments tailored to clean energy clients.
- Timely support for sales teams: Deliver rapid reviews, redlines, and risk assessments to keep deals moving without bottlenecks.
- Handle critical terms: Expertly negotiate data privacy (GDPR/CCPA), cybersecurity provisions, indemnification, liability caps, and IP protections.
- Efficient workflow management: Prioritize high-volume contract reviews to align with sales targets and fiscal timelines.
- Cross-team collaboration: Partner with Sales, Finance, and Operations to resolve disputes, advise on compliance, and mitigate risks.
- Proactive issue spotting: Identify potential legal pitfalls in customer proposals, ensuring robust protection for the company.
Expect to leverage tools like DocuSign, contract management software, and collaboration platforms in a tech-savvy environment.
Required Qualifications
To succeed, you'll bring:
- JD from an accredited law school and active license to practice in California.
- 3-7 years of hands-on experience drafting/negotiating commercial contracts, ideally in SaaS, tech, or clean energy.
- Deep knowledge of data privacy laws, SaaS metrics (usage-based pricing), and standard indemnity structures.
- Proven ability to work independently with minimal supervision in dynamic settings.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication for non-legal stakeholders.
- Tech proficiency with MS Office, Adobe Sign, and legal tech stacks.
- Part-time availability and comfort with contract-based engagements.
Bonus: Experience in renewable energy, venture-funded startups, or Big Law commercial practices.
