M&A Associate Attorney

Success Matcher Recruitment

About the job M&A Associate Attorney


Take the next step in your legal career with a boutique firm that offers the sophistication of Big Law without sacrificing work-life balance. This is a rare opportunity to work directly with founders and high-growth technology companies, lead meaningful M&A transactions from start to finish, and build a clear path toward a future partnership title, all while working remotely on lean, high-impact deal teams.

What You'll Do:
  • Lead strategic buy-side and sell-side M&A transactions
  • Draft and negotiate definitive transaction documents
  • Manage due diligence and oversee deals from signing through closing
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for clients and opposing counsel
We're Looking For:
  • 3-6 years of strategic M&A experience at a Big Law, strong midsize, or reputable boutique firm
  • Ability to independently manage transactions with minimal supervision
  • Strong drafting, negotiation, and client management skills
  • Active admission to a U.S. state bar
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
  • Fully remote U.S.-based role
  • Competitive total compensation of $200K-$270K with quarterly bonuses
  • Flexible billable hour targets
  • Additional performance and origination bonuses
  • Clear, merit-based path to a non-equity partner title in a growing M&A practice

If you're looking for greater responsibility, meaningful client exposure, and long-term career growth, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today or send your resume to View email address on click.appcast.io .


All applications will be treated with strict confidentiality.
