• Drafting and negotiating transactional documents (purchase agreements, merger agreements, financing documents)

• Handling general corporate matters including entity formations, corporate structuring, and ongoing client advisory

• Working closely with partners in a lean team structure, gaining significant client-facing responsibility

• Supporting private equity sponsors and portfolio companies throughout their investment lifecycle

Key Requirements

• 4-8 years of M&A/PE transactional experience (must be able to run a deal independently)

• Law firm experience required (understanding of billing, managing multiple client relationships)

• Licensed to practice law in Missouri or Illinois

• Based in St. Louis or Chicago

• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously
