Job description

Senior Associate, Counsel, or Junior Partner – Corporate Securities – Washington, D.C.

A respected national law firm is seeking an experienced Corporate Securities attorney to join its growing Washington, D.C. practice at the Senior Associate, Counsel, or Junior Partner level.

This is an attractive opportunity for a securities lawyer who wants to take on sophisticated public company work within a collaborative, entrepreneurial platform. The successful candidate will work closely with public companies, boards, executives, and other key stakeholders on a broad range of securities regulation, governance, disclosure, and capital markets matters.

The role will involve advising on compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including preparation and review of Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, proxy statements for annual and special shareholder meetings, and Forms 3, 4, and 5.

Candidates should also have experience advising public companies and insiders on securities compliance matters, including trading plans and short-swing profit considerations. The practice includes broader corporate governance work such as drafting board resolutions, corporate policies, public disclosures, and related governance materials.

The attorney will also have the opportunity to advise on public and private securities offerings and matters involving national securities exchange listing requirements. Experience involving broker-dealers, FINRA regulation, investment advisers, or fund formation would be particularly valuable, although it is not required.

Candidates should have at least 5 years of substantive corporate securities experience, together with strong technical knowledge of federal securities regulation. The firm is open to considering attorneys at different seniority levels depending on experience, client relationships, leadership capabilities, and practice development potential.

A strong academic record and excellent drafting, research, analytical, and communication skills are required. Candidates must have a JD and previous experience working in a law firm.

The firm offers an environment where experienced attorneys can take meaningful ownership of matters, build deeper client relationships, and continue developing their practice within a supportive and commercially minded team. For candidates approaching counsel or partner level, there is meaningful scope to expand responsibilities and contribute to the continued growth of the securities practice.

Compensation will be competitive and determined based on experience, seniority, qualifications, market factors, and the candidate’s overall practice profile.
