$365k - $415kMcGuireWoods
Job Description
McGuireWoods is seeking an Associate to support its Corporate and Private Equity practice.
Shape the Future of Private Equity at a Firm That Invests in Yours
Join a nationally recognized private equity practice where your deal‑making expertise meets cutting‑edge resources and genuine opportunities for growth. We are seeking a driven associate with 5-7 years of acquisitions experience to help lead transactions for one of the most dynamic PE platforms in the country.
The Opportunity
Our Private Equity Transactions Practice Group sits at the center of the market - representing over 200 PE firms and portfolio companies in the past five years alone. We advise clients across the full investment lifecycle and up and down the capital stack, from M&A and financings to day‑to‑day strategic counsel. Our deep relationships span industries, with particular strength in healthcare private equity and independent sponsor work.
What sets us apart is how we think. Our attorneys operate with an investment banking mindset, proactively identifying opportunities, cultivating relationships, and connecting clients with investors and contacts across our extensive network. You won't just execute deals here - you'll help drive them.
About the Firm
McGuireWoods, one of the world’s leading law firms, has provided legal solutions to corporate, individual and nonprofit clients since 1834. Along with excellent benefits, McGuireWoods offers our attorneys a competitive salary with hours and merit bonus opportunities and billable hours credit for pro bono work. Continually establishing new initiatives and enhancing existing efforts, we focus on meaningful support for our lawyers in their careers.
Salary: $365,000 - $415,000
Job Requirements
What We're Looking For
- Five to seven years of experience in acquisitions for private equity funds, with demonstrated ability to quarterback transactions
- A strong academic record and exceptional written and oral communication skills
- A collaborative spirit and genuine enthusiasm for working with innovative technology platforms—our attorneys leverage Harvey AI to accelerate research, streamline drafting, and sharpen analysis, freeing you to focus on the strategic thinking and client engagement that matter most
- Must be barred in California
Why This Role
This is more than a lateral move - it's a chance to join a large, national platform with ambitious growth plans and a culture that values initiative, collaboration, and forward‑thinking lawyering. If you're ready to elevate your practice with a team that matches your ambition, we'd like to hear from you.
