A bit about us:

We are a full-service law firm providing practical legal guidance to businesses and organizations facing complex issues. Our work spans litigation, transactions, and regulatory matters, with teams collaborating across practices to deliver efficient, well-reasoned solutions. We focus on understanding how our clients operate so we can offer advice that is both strategic and grounded in real-world considerations. Our lawyers value clarity, responsiveness, and sound judgment, and we aim to build lasting client relationships through consistent, high-quality work.

Why join us?

We offer a collaborative environment where attorneys are trusted with meaningful responsibility and supported through mentorship and open communication. Our teams are approachable and engaged, and we encourage professional growth through hands-on experience and exposure to a wide range of matters. We believe strong legal careers are sustainable, so we promote balance, flexibility, and respect for life outside the office. Attorneys also have opportunities to engage in pro bono and community-focused work as part of a well-rounded practice.

Job Details

We are seeking an experienced corporate attorney to join a collaborative transactional practice focused on mergers and acquisitions, business transactions, and ongoing corporate advisory work.

• Support financing transactions, capital raises, and commercial lending matters
• Provide practical legal guidance to business owners, executives, and management teams
• Collaborate with attorneys across practice areas on complex transactions and advisory projects
• Manage smaller transactions independently and contribute to larger, more sophisticated matters

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of transactional corporate law experience
• Strong background in mergers and acquisitions and other business transactions
• Experience drafting and negotiating complex transaction documents
• Familiarity with due diligence, transaction structuring, and post-closing matters
• Experience advising privately held businesses and business owners
• Exposure to financing transactions, corporate governance, and capital formation matters
• Understanding of tax considerations impacting business transactions is preferred
• Experience leveraging technology and AI-assisted legal tools is a plus
• Strong analytical, drafting, negotiation, and client counseling skills

Requirements

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active bar membership in good standing in state you will practice
• Ability to independently manage transactions and client relationships
• Strong business judgment and problem-solving abilities
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize multiple matters in a fast-paced environment
