You will work across the full lifecycle of emerging and growth-stage technology companies, including:

• Early and late-stage venture financings

Associates are expected to manage meaningful portions of transactions independently while working closely with partners and senior associates on complex deals.

• Mid-level associate with approximately 3 to 6 years of experience
• Background representing technology companies in corporate and transactional matters
• Experience at a comparable law firm
• Strong drafting skills and comfort taking ownership of deal components

Why This Role

This is a chance to build real depth in a market-leading technology companies practice with consistent deal flow and sophisticated clients. Associates gain early responsibility, direct partner access, and exposure to marquee venture financings and M&A transactions without being siloed.
