Hexagon Lavish® has an open position for an experienced and challengeable individual as our Senior General Counsel who considers "real world scientific experience" as a positive in order to aid in pushing our startup forward. Understand, we are not looking for the typical, "mainstream" or set-standard lawyer; rather someone who's willing to be a stand-in for the startup as a "legal warrior". The Senior General Counsel will report directly to the CEO and Board of Directors.

The ideal candidate will be held responsible for all legal affairs and not be at a disadvantage from lacking "category A" credentials. The ideal candidate will also serve as a key member of senior leadership team and  inform other members of senior leadership on matters concerning strategic importance to the business, establishing key strategic alliances and risk-opportunity analysis for business transactions. 

The Senior General Counsel position requires compliance with SEC rulings and regulations including proxy statements as well as provide legal guidance on publicity disclosures, press releases and other marketing materials associated with the startup. The Senior General Counsel will need to have a "technological hunger" that can only be gratified by Hexagon Lavish®.
