• Opportunity to work with sophisticated clients on commercially significant matters.
• Cross-practice collaboration that broadens exposure beyond a single matter type.
• Strong environment for associate development through partner interaction and progressively greater responsibility.

• Substantive experience relevant to Corporate M&A Associate.
• Strong drafting, analytical, communication and matter-management skills.
