Job Description
Corporate M&A Associate (3–6 Years)
Cincinnati, OH | Full-Time | Hybrid
Ready to run deals, not just paper them? This mid-level corporate role hands you M&A and private equity transactions from first draft to closing, with partner support behind you and a clear path to partnership ahead.
In association with a reputable national, full-service law firm, Protem Legal is pleased to present a Corporate M&A Associate opening in Cincinnati.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out- Lead role on deals, with real autonomy
- Public and private M&A, private equity, joint ventures, and growth equity work
- A clear, stated path to partnership
- Firm and practice leadership investing in the M&A group
- Encouragement to build your own client relationships
- Hybrid schedule
- Bonus program on top of salary
You'll join a corporate team that handles transactions for public and private companies, private equity sponsors, and in-house legal teams. Once you're up to speed, you'll be expected to run deals with minimal supervision and own the day-to-day client relationship.
What You'll Do- Draft and negotiate purchase agreements and ancillary documents
- Run due diligence and write diligence reports
- Manage transactions from signing through closing
- Handle joint ventures, commercial contracts, and general corporate work
- Advise in-house legal and operating teams
- Coordinate deal teams across several offices
- 3–6 years of corporate M&A experience
- Ability to run a deal start to finish with little supervision
- Strong drafting and negotiating skills
- A J.D. with a strong academic record
- Admission to the Ohio bar
- Large-firm transactional experience
- Capital markets work
- Polished presence on video calls with clients and colleagues
This is a hybrid role based in Cincinnati. You'll work closely with partners in other cities, so you'll be comfortable collaborating virtually as well as in person.
CompensationSalary is set by experience, education, and market, and associates take part in a bonus program. Pay will be discussed during the interview process and is based on qualifications and experience.
How to ApplyIf you're ready to lead deals and grow toward partnership, apply confidentially through Protem Legal. Have your resume, law school transcript, and deal sheet ready. We'll contact you before anything is shared with the firm.
