About Skybox Capital

Skybox Capital is a family office and private equity firm investing across the capital structure, with a focus on middle‑market private equity and incubating new businesses .

Our investments span multiple industries — including technology, e-commerce, real‑estate, and entertainment — with portfolio companies such as GoTickets , Leads IQ , and Magnolia Capital , among others. We also manage a growing network of global operations across North America, Israel, and Asia .

At Skybox, we believe in modern, technology‑driven decision making . We operate lean, leverage AI across functions, and empower our team to move quickly and think strategically.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a General Counsel who will lead and modernize the legal function across the Skybox family of companies.

This is both a strategic and hands‑on role , ideal for an experienced attorney who combines traditional legal expertise with a deep understanding of how AI can transform the practice of law . You’ll use AI and specialized legal software to research, draft, and analyze — ensuring the team engages outside counsel only when necessary and always with clarity and focus .

You’ll oversee legal, HR, compliance, and governance across a portfolio that includes entities in the U.S., Israel, Canada , and other jurisdictions — working closely with leadership to anticipate and manage legal risk while supporting growth.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead all legal and compliance functions for Skybox Capital and its portfolio companies
  • Use AI tools and legal‑specific software (e.g., Harvey, CoCounsel, Spellbook, Casetext) to conduct research, draft contracts, and prepare analysis before engaging outside counsel
  • Oversee HR legal compliance , supporting the Director of People and HR Coordinator
  • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts and agreements across all operating companies
  • Ensure state, federal, and international compliance , particularly for GoTickets , which operates across multiple U.S. jurisdictions
  • Guide corporate governance and entity management across the Skybox portfolio
  • Manage outside counsel strategically to ensure cost‑effective, targeted use of resources
  • Advise leadership on employment law, data privacy, cybersecurity, and risk management
  • Support strategic transactions , including investments, acquisitions, and divestitures
  • Develop templates, policies, and scalable processes for legal and HR documentation
  • Oversee compliance for international offices and offshore employees in Israel, Canada, India, and the Philippines
  • Coordinate with outside counsel on real estate and asset management matters at Magnolia Capital
  • Monitor and advise on manufacturing and supplier agreements in China, Vietnam, and other international jurisdictions, leveraging AI to streamline review and due diligence

Who You Are

  • J.D. and active bar membership (U.S.)
  • 8+ years of legal experience, ideally including in‑house experience with private equity, family offices, or multi‑entity organizations
  • Demonstrated proficiency using AI in legal workflows — drafting, compliance, contract review, and research
  • Proven ability to manage complex, multi‑jurisdictional legal environments
  • Strong foundation in corporate, employment, and compliance law
  • Skilled at balancing risk with business objectives and providing pragmatic guidance
  • Experienced in managing outside counsel cost‑effectively
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to translate legal language into clear business recommendations
  • Comfortable in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial, and global environment
  • Curious, tech‑forward, and constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency and insight through AI
  • Why Join Skybox

  • Strategic Leadership : Define and execute the legal strategy across a global investment platform
  • AI‑Driven Efficiency : Use technology to modernize the legal function and control costs
  • Cross‑Industry Exposure : Support a diverse set of operating companies and investments
  • Global Scope : Oversee compliance across North America, Israel, and Asia
  • Collaborative Culture : Partner directly with senior leadership and decision‑makers
  • Meaningful Impact : Build the legal foundation for a growing, modern family office
