Job description

This unique Partner or Counsel opportunity is for a proven, self-starter, transactional attorney who seeks a more “boutique-like” firm while still handling sophisticated projects. This role is eligible to be fully remote. Office locations are in Maryland and South Florida.

The ideal candidate will possess each of the following requirements:

• Minimum of 7+ years of specific experience handling a wide array of complex corporate and business transactions. Must be responsive. Seeking heavy client interaction is a plus.

• Possess the quality legal drafting and analytical skills to efficiently draft and negotiate a wide variety of legal documents from organizational documents (such as partnership and LLC operating agreements to other governing corporate documents); from employment, independent contractor, and other services agreements, joint venture agreements, licenses and IP development agreements, loan documents, and purchase and sale agreements and lead complex M&A transactions.

• Must possess strong multi-tasking skills. Be able to work in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment, provide input on decisions, be responsive and help effectuate change, and be a part of a growing business.

• Be organized and analytical, yet pragmatic, with high integrity. Proven record of working closely with team members in a collegial atmosphere to maximize value provided to clients. Also, any experience managing other attorneys is a plus.

You will engage in significant deal work in this opportunity and serve as outside general counsel to clients. The candidate is not required to have any book of business, and there will not be any requirement for the candidate to engage in any business development initiatives (although the firm would be very supportive of this entrepreneurial spirit if that is the goal of the candidate).

Compensation is based on experience and is aligned with BigLaw standards, including base salary + bonus potential + full benefits package. Ability to port new business will be rewarded and factored into compensation.
