Contract M&A Attorney - Elite Boutique - Remote (United States)

DESCRIPTION

We are a premier transactional law firm seeking experienced attorneys with Am Law experience to work on an hourly basis.

WHO WE ARE

We are an elite boutique law firm built to outperform traditional Am Law firms on sophisticated middle-market transactions. Our model delivers materially greater senior ownership, continuity and accountability than large-firm staffing structures. Our attorneys bring deep experience from top multinational firms and leading law schools and routinely lead complex transactions.

We deliberately focus on transactions that matter to clients but are structurally deprioritized inside large firms. Every matter receives sustained senior-partner engagement, real judgment and direct ownership rather than leveraged or fragmented staffing models. Our practice spans M&A, private equity, securities, corporate governance, secured finance, fund formation, employment and related matters.

Our clients include Fortune 100 public companies, multibillion-dollar private equity sponsors and mid-market operating companies across the United States.

We are an entrepreneurial firm growing rapidly. Our attorneys work remotely in a high-performance, highly collaborative culture centered on ownership, rigor and execution.

WHO WE NEED

We are seeking outstanding attorneys with:

• Am Law 100 experience
• At least two years of sophisticated corporate transactional experience
• A J.D. from a top-tier law school with a strong academic record
• Strong ethical standards and a client-first orientation
• Admission in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is a remote contract position. Compensation is competitive and based on experience.

We operate in a demanding, output-driven environment. We care deeply about the quality, timeliness and reliability of work product. This is not a lifestyle firm. We expect our lawyers to surge hard when client needs require it. 

We are a stable, well-capitalized firm with a long-term growth orientation, led by experienced operators who are committed to building a durable institution rather than a lifestyle practice. Advancement and responsibility are driven by performance, judgment and contribution rather than seniority or internal politics.

As part of our evaluation process, we may request a short drafting exercise designed to assess real-world judgment, precision and writing quality. We believe this is the most effective and fair way to evaluate fit for a drafting-intensive role.

COMPENSATION

The firm’s expected hiring range for this position is $100 - $175 per hour, depending on a candidate's experience and background.
