"What You'll Be Doing"
About This Role
As the first in-house lawyer at Tangany, you will build the legal function from the ground up, reporting directly to the Managing Director Compliance. You'll operate as a staff function on equal footing with GRC and the anti-money-laundering department. Rather than processing mandates, you'll help shape business models before they go live.
What You'll Be Doing
Draft and negotiate cooperation, custody and service agreements with banks, brokers and platforms, in both German and English
Own the company's general terms and conditions (AGB) and customer documentation in both languages
Provide advice on KWG, MiCAR, KMAG, GwG, ZAG, TFR and DORA, from product concept through implementation
Review new products such as staking, stablecoins and tokenization, and prepare or assess legal opinions
Clarify legal questions arising from EU-wide market entries and cross-border business
Lead negotiations with service providers, including in incident and liability situations
Manage external law firms and the associated legal budget
Support audits conducted by internal audit, external auditors and BaFin
Assist with matters in labor law, corporate law and data protection law
What We're Looking For
Two state law exams (Staatsexamina) and admission as a lawyer (Rechtsanwalt) or in-house counsel (Syndikusrechtsanwalt), or willingness to obtain this
Several years of law firm experience in banking and financial supervisory law, ideally with a crypto focus, or comparable experience at a financial institution
Solid knowledge of KWG, MiCAR, KMAG, GwG and ZAG
Experience drafting and negotiating complex B2B contracts
Fluent German and English (both at least C1 level)
A pragmatic approach: finding solutions rather than just listing risks
Bonus Points
Experience with audits by internal audit, external auditors or BaFin
Experience in labor law, corporate law or data protection law
Knowledge of DORA, TFR or eWpG
