Associate Attorney, Business Transactional

Job Description

Job Description

Position Summary:

The Associate Attorney, Business Transactional position is a dedicated business transactional role supporting the growth of Revelation Pharma and its affiliates and pharmacy subsidiaries. The practice is corporate and transactional that involves day-to-day commercial contracting, acquisition support, entity governance, and corporate housekeeping that keeps a multi-site pharmacy platform moving.

The ideal candidate is a practical drafter and negotiator who has spent the bulk of their career in a business transactional practice and is comfortable working independently, moving quickly without sacrificing accuracy, and translating legal risk into plain business terms. This is a builder's role: the attorney will help shape the templates, playbooks, and processes the legal function relies on as the company continues to scale.
