Job Description

Private Companies Associate Attorney – Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., New York, Reston, San Francisco, or Seattle
Direct Counsel is seeking a Private Companies Associate Attorney to join a nationally recognized, innovation-driven firm advising some of the most prominent venture-backed companies and the investors who fund them.

This position offers the opportunity to work closely with emerging and high-growth companies at every stage of their lifecycle—from formation through venture financings and liquidity events. You’ll join a collaborative team of attorneys known for guiding disruptive businesses and investors through complex corporate matters with creativity and precision.

About the Role:
The firm is seeking a mid-level associate with substantial experience counseling early- and growth-stage companies. You’ll advise on general corporate governance, equity financings, and M&A transactions while building relationships with founders, investors, and boards. The role also offers the chance to grow your practice, speak at industry events, and contribute to the continued expansion of the firm’s national private companies platform.

What You’ll Bring:

  • 4–6 years of experience advising venture-backed and growth-stage companies

  • Experience with venture financings, corporate governance, and liquidity events

  • JD from a top law school with strong academic credentials

  • Background in the corporate department of a leading national or international law firm

  • Strong business judgment and client communication skills

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Salary range: $310,000 – $390,000, depending on experience and location

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage

  • Health savings and flexible spending accounts

  • 401(k) with firm contributions

  • Four weeks of vacation plus sick time and 10 paid holidays annually

  • Generous parental leave and fertility benefits

  • Backup care, commuter benefits, and wellness programs

This is a prime opportunity for a mid-level corporate associate to join a premier practice advising some of the world’s most dynamic private companies and investors.
