Attorneys in this practice work on sophisticated mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, and general corporate matters while enjoying significant client interaction and long-term growth opportunities.

Attorneys in this practice work directly with clients, lead significant portions of transactions, and collaborate closely with experienced partners on complex and high-profile matters.

• Counsel clients on corporate governance, business structuring, and day-to-day corporate matters
• Work closely with business owners, management teams, investors, and private equity sponsors
• Collaborate with attorneys across tax, finance, employment, real estate, and other practice groups to support complex transactions

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in M&A, private equity, corporate transactions, or general corporate law
• Experience drafting and negotiating principal transaction documents
• Strong understanding of corporate governance and transactional concepts
• Ability to manage multiple matters and maintain significant client contact
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills
• J.D. from an accredited law school and admission in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Sophisticated M&A and corporate transaction work

• Hybrid flexibility and long-term career growth potential
