Corporate M&A Associate Attorney
Corporate M&A Associate Attorney (3+ Years)
A nationally recognized law firm is seeking a Corporate M&A Associate to join its growing transactional practice. This opportunity offers the chance to work on sophisticated mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, strategic business matters, and general corporate counseling for a diverse client base ranging from emerging growth companies to established middle-market businesses.
Attorneys in this practice work directly with clients, lead significant portions of transactions, and collaborate closely with experienced partners on complex and high-profile matters. The position is ideal for an attorney seeking greater responsibility, strong deal exposure, and long-term career growth within a highly regarded corporate platform.
Key Responsibilities
- Advise clients on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), business combinations, divestitures, and other strategic transactions
- Draft and negotiate purchase agreements, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and other complex transaction documents
- Manage due diligence processes and coordinate transaction execution from letter of intent through closing
- Counsel clients on corporate governance, business structuring, and day-to-day corporate matters
- Work closely with business owners, management teams, investors, and private equity sponsors
- Collaborate with attorneys across tax, finance, employment, real estate, and other practice groups to support complex transactions
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in M&A, private equity, corporate transactions, or general corporate law
- Experience drafting and negotiating principal transaction documents
- Strong understanding of corporate governance and transactional concepts
- Ability to manage multiple matters and maintain significant client contact
- Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills
- J.D. from an accredited law school and admission in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Sophisticated M&A and corporate transaction work
- Significant client interaction and deal responsibility
- Collaborative and entrepreneurial practice environment
- Exposure to private equity, strategic buyers, investors, and high-growth companies
- Strong compensation and advancement opportunities
- Hybrid flexibility and long-term career growth potential
