  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, and client communication skills

  • Admission to the state bar in the office location (or eligibility for prompt admission)

This role offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated, market-leading private equity fund matters within a collaborative, national platform and a highly competitive compensation structure.

The firm is an equal opportunity employer and encourages candidates from all backgrounds and experiences to apply.
