Job description

Are you a strong mid-level or senior corporate associate who loves deal work but is done with the billable-hour treadmill? This one's for you.

Lex Key Partners is working on a search for an elite, full-service law firm with a respected corporate practice in the Boston area. The firm is looking for a corporate associate who wants to keep doing sophisticated transactional work, with real ownership of deals, on a reasonable hours expectation. That means you have room for a life outside the office.

What you'll do

• Lead transactions from start to finish, including the drafting, the negotiation, and the client relationship
• Handle a varied mix of M&A, securities offerings, debt and equity financings, and general corporate counseling
• Work closely with emerging growth companies on formation and funding, and with private equity clients on their investments
• Mentor junior associates and help shape how the team develops

What you bring

• 4+ years of corporate and transactional experience, gained in a sophisticated, high-volume practice
• Proven ability to run deals independently
• Excellent writing, negotiation, and client-service skills
• Strong academic credentials
• AmLaw or large-firm training is a plus

Why this role

• Lifestyle-friendly hours without stepping down in deal quality
• Direct client contact and first-chair responsibility, instead of waiting your turn behind a long associate pipeline
• A collaborative firm built around long-term attorney development
• Base salary reflects a more sustainable hours model. Do the math on your effective hourly rate, and many AmLaw associates find it's a better deal.
