Legal Counsel - Technology, IP & Digital Platforms

Join Our Vision: We are building the next generation of Spatial Media - a new way people experience videos through interaction, multi-user presence, haptics, AI, and immersive storytelling.

DeoVR is the leading immersive streaming technology serving multiple enterprise customers and millions of users globally.

We are now expanding the boundaries of what video can be - moving from passive watching to active, interactive, multi-user journeys.

If this excites you more than it scares you, you are in the right place.

The Role

• Move legal matters from question to resolution. Gather the facts, speak with the people involved, recommend an approach, coordinate next steps, and follow through.

• Help teams launch products and partnerships. Work with product, engineering, commercial, marketing, and operations teams to turn legal requirements into workable agreements, product decisions, and processes.

• Handle contracts and content rights. Draft, negotiate, and maintain commercial agreements, licences, creator and performer agreements, releases, terms of service, and other core documents.

• Protect our intellectual property. Work on copyright, licensing, trademarks, content use, infringement complaints, and disputes involving our platforms and technology.

• Work closely with compliance and Trust & Safety. Help resolve content complaints, privacy requests, consent issues, age assurance questions, and payment provider requirements.

• Coordinate external lawyers. Give specialists the full context, ask precise questions, assess their recommendations, and take responsibility for putting the agreed approach into practice.

• Make recurring work easier. Build useful templates, clear escalation processes, and a legal knowledge base that helps the team act consistently.
  

How you work

• You investigate before reaching conclusions. You’re curious about the product, the commercial relationship, and the real circumstances behind a request.

• You communicate clearly and directly: what matters, what you recommend, what the trade-offs are, and what happens next. You distinguish legal requirements from commercial choices and help leadership make informed decisions.

• You take initiative, bring people together, and keep matters moving without needing repeated follow-up. You’re comfortable challenging assumptions, including those of colleagues and external advisers, and you know when a firm boundary or specialist input is needed.

• You enjoy a dynamic environment with changing priorities and direct feedback. You care about the quality of your work and its effect on the people building the business.

What you bring

• A legal qualification and practical experience handling commercial legal matters.

• A solid working understanding of copyright, IP, contracts, technology, privacy, and platform compliance.

• The ability to learn unfamiliar areas quickly and recognise when specialist expertise is required.

• Commercial judgment and experience working directly with business teams.

• Strong drafting, negotiation, and communication skills in English.

• Professional comfort working with lawful adult content and the associated consent, rights, and compliance questions.

• Experience with digital platforms, creator businesses, AI, VR, international operations, or adult entertainment would be valuable. We welcome a broad generalist who can connect these areas and coordinate deeper expertise where needed.
