Legal attorney
About Scooter Your Way Scooter Your Way, LLC is a Michigan-based micromobility company currently in its pre-launch phase. We are building the legal, operational, and structural foundation of the company before entering active market operations. The Company has not yet launched, generated revenue, or secured outside funding. At this stage, there is no operating capital beyond founder investment and structured pre-launch planning. All foundational legal work is being completed prior to revenue generation. Our approach is disciplined and preventative — we believe in resolving legal and compliance matters before launch, not after problems arise. The Company is founder-led with clear decision-making authority and structured governance standards. Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Legal Counsel / Legal Attorney to work directly with the Founder & CEO to establish and finalize the Company’s complete legal framework prior to launch. This is a hands-on role. The selected attorney will draft, review, complete, and validate all core legal documents and ensure the Company is positioned to operate in full compliance with applicable state and federal laws.

Compensation & Capital Transparency Scooter Your Way is currently in its pre-revenue and pre-funding stage. The Company has not yet launched and does not currently generate revenue or maintain external investment capital. Initial engagement will be structured on a mutually agreed hourly, project-based, deferred, or limited retainer basis during pre-launch. Any compensation structure will be clearly documented in writing prior to engagement. Upon completion of the Company’s first full profitable fiscal year (defined as revenue exceeding operating expenses and achieving positive cash flow), the Legal Counsel may become eligible for:
- $85,000 annu
al salary
- Up to 1% equity in Scooter Your Way, LLC
Salary and equity are performance-based and contingent upon profitability, continued engagement, and execution of a formal written agreement. Neither salary nor equity is guaranteed prior to profitability. All compensation and equity issuance remain subject to written approval by the Founder & CEO. Why Join at This Stage This is an opportunity to build the legal backbone of a company from the ground up — not clean up problems later. The right attorney will help establish a legally sound, scalable, and defensible foundation before launch. This role is best suited for an attorney who understands early-stage discipline, structured growth, and long-term value creation — not someone looking for immediate corporate stability. Serious candidates with startup experience and long-term vision are encouraged to apply. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
