Job summary

Stein Law LLC in Atlanta seeks a junior associate to join our corporate and tax transactional practice. The associate will work closely with senior attorneys on mergers, acquisitions, private fund transactions, and tax planning projects, gaining substantial responsibility early in the role.

We value intensive training, a high standard of work, and a career fit for a young lawyer eager to develop skills in sophisticated matters and cross-border opportunities. This is an on-site position.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school.
• Admitted to practice or sitting for the bar examination.
• Strong academic record and excellent legal research and writing.
• Coursework or demonstrated interest in business associations, federal income tax, corporate and partnership taxation, and international taxation.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and standard legal research platforms, and willingness to use technology, including AI-assisted research and drafting tools, responsibly and under attorney supervision.
• A strong work ethic and real enthusiasm for transactional and tax work: someone who finds a complex structure or a difficult drafting problem interesting rather than tedious.
• Intellectual curiosity, receptiveness to direct feedback, a commitment to professional ethics, a professional demeanor with clients and colleagues, and a good sense of humor.

Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and mark up corporate governing instruments such as operating agreements and partnership agreements, purchase and sale agreements, NDAs, management agreements, and related transaction documents, and track negotiated changes across drafts.
• Due diligence: Review entity documents, contracts, trust instruments, and financial statements; identify risks, inconsistencies, and gaps; and prepare clear issue lists and diligence memoranda.
• Research and writing: Research the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, court decisions, and secondary authorities. Prepare legal memoranda and client-ready analysis that answer the question asked and translate research into practical recommendations.
• Private offerings: Assist in drafting private placement memoranda, subscription documents, and related materials for private fund and Regulation D offerings.
• Wealth and entity planning: Support advanced planning work, including Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) structures, holding-company structures, and family office arrangements. Draft client proposals involving various tax strategies.
• Governance and disputes: Assist with entity formation, corporate maintenance, and governance matters, including analysis of member and shareholder rights and remedies under state code and statutes.
• Collaboration: Coordinate with colleagues, opposing counsel, and clients’ other advisors, such as CPAs and financial professionals.
• Professional development: Complete the requirements of TILPP, with time and support from the firm.
