Job description

The Firm

A well-established, New York-founded law firm with a sophisticated corporate and securities practice, serving a client base that spans media, technology, financial services, and pharmaceuticals. Known for direct client relationships and a collegial working environment, the firm gives associates meaningful deal responsibility without the bureaucracy of a mega-firm platform.

The Team

The Corporate Group handles a broad range of domestic and international corporate matters, working across practice lines rather than in narrow, siloed teams. Corporate partners and senior associates are directly involved in day-to-day deal execution and associate development, making mentorship a built-in part of the role rather than an afterthought.

The Work

The associate will be engaged in a genuinely varied mix of transactional and regulatory work, including:

* Public and private securities offerings
* Public company representation
* SEC reporting and compliance
* M&A (buy-side and sell-side)
* General corporate counseling across a range of industries

This breadth of exposure allows associates to build a well-rounded transactional skill set rather than being confined to a single deal type.

Candidate Profile

* Class of 2022-2024
* Strong background in securities and capital markets
* Robust academic record and demonstrated work ethic
* AmLaw 200 experience preferred

What the Firm Offers

* Direct, hands-on training from corporate partners and senior associates
* Broad deal exposure across industries and matter types, rather than a narrow lane
* Genuine early responsibility and client contact
* A collegial, team-oriented environment with less bureaucratic overhead than larger platforms
* Competitive compensation and a clear runway to build a specialized securities/capital markets practice
