About the team

The Legal team sits at the heart of TradingView and it’s a very important part of the business. This team supports all other TradingView teams, helping us achieve our goals each and every day.

Responsibilities

We're looking for a Legal Counsel to join our dedicated team responsible for responding to high-priority, complex, and often time-sensitive challenges. You'll develop and execute proactive strategies, act as a subject matter expert in market data, IP, and disputes, and be involved in decision-making on critical issues that impact our business. We look for people who apply deep logic to their thinking, back reason with data, and have the confidence to deliver pragmatic legal solutions.

• Provide senior-level legal counsel to executives and cross-functional leadership on a broad range of legal matters, including market data regulation, intellectual property, disputes, data protection, cybersecurity, commercial risk, and regulatory exposure.

• Act as a key legal advisor on market data usage, redistribution, licensing compliance, and exchange/vendor agreements, ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory and contractual frameworks.

• Own and evolve vendor legal governance - advising on contract status, liability allocation, risk mitigation, and performance obligations across the vendor lifecycle.

• Partner closely with Security, Engineering, Product, Compliance, and HR to ensure legal alignment on platform security, data protection, incident response, and secure product development.

• Lead legal strategy for protection, enforcement, dispute resolution, and commercialisation of intellectual property, including trademarks, copyright, trade secrets, software, and other registered and unregistered rights globally.
