Legal Counsel

Strikerz Inc. is an international game studio behind UFL, a next-gen free-to-play football game on console, PC and mobile played by millions worldwide. We’re looking for a Legal Counsel. This is a stand-alone role with a broad mandate. You’ll be the one person holding the group’s corporate perimeter together, working directly with senior management, Finance, shareholders and external providers.

What you’ll do: Advise on corporate law and run day-to-day governance of the Company and group entities, owning the recurring corporate workflow end to end. Maintain the corporate calendar (board and shareholder resolutions, POAs, director/officer changes, statutory filings). Keep constitutional documents, registers, certificates and UBO records complete and up to date. Manage fiduciary providers, company secretaries and external counsel, including instructions, review, deadlines, quality and budgets. Maintain the cap table and share capital records (issues, transfers, option exercises) and keep them consistent with the corporate registers and the Registrar. Support the corporate side of M&A, restructurings and investments: due diligence, approvals, CPs and closing deliverables. Work directly with shareholders and directors: tell them what’s needed and by when, collect decisions, signatures and documents, and drive matters to completion without management having to chase. Handle shareholder loans and intragroup financing, from documentation and approvals to repayment or capitalisation, together with Finance, Tax and auditors. Coordinate KYC/AML, due diligence and counterparty onboarding for banks, payment providers, auditors and counterparties. Assess sanctions risks: screening, ownership/control analysis, documented conclusions and escalation of high-risk cases. Draft and negotiate NCAs/NSAs with shareholders, founders and key employees, and assess whether they’re enforceable. Run intercompany governance and documentation with affiliates. Give written and verbal advice in an “options – residual risk – recommendation” format.

It would be great if you could also: Build corporate compliance tooling: policies, templates, checklists, registers, screening and escalation workflows. Monitor legal and regulatory developments and turn them into practical process changes. Bring hands-on experience with Cyprus employment law (employment, termination, ERGANI).

Requirements: A law degree and 4–7+ years in a law firm and/or in-house, with substantial corporate law and governance exposure. Hands-on experience with Cyprus entities (required), plus other jurisdictions and cross-border group structures. Experience coordinating corporate secretarial and fiduciary providers and external counsel. Practical knowledge of English law and EU regulations. Comfortable handling a high volume of recurring operational tasks alongside project work. Fluent Russian and English, including legal English.

Considered an advantage: Background in an international tech, gaming, digital or fintech business. Experience with the Cyprus Registrar of Companies. Experience with M&A, restructurings or other transactions, including approvals and closing documentation. Understanding of tax, transfer pricing and preferential tax regimes in a cross-border group. Greek language skills.
