Ernst & Young has invited applications for the post of Senior Associate at its Trivandrum office. Candidates must be law graduates with 2, 3 years of post-qualification experience in open-source software (OSS) review and software licensing.

The role involves reviewing OSS intake forms, analysing licences to mitigate legal and commercial risks, and supporting OSS due diligence in M&A transactions. The last date for online application is not specified.

The demand for lawyers skilled in open-source software licensing reflects India's growing tech ecosystem. While some may see such niche roles as limited, they create pathways for lawyers at the intersection of law and technology. The real test will be whether more law schools introduce courses on software licensing to meet industry needs.
