• Draft and negotiate key transaction documents, including term sheets, financing agreements, shareholder agreements, and commercial contracts.
• Counsel clients on securities law compliance, Regulation D offerings, Blue Sky filings, and related regulatory matters.
• Support mergers, acquisitions, secondary transactions, and other strategic growth and exit events.

• Experience serving as outside general counsel to startup and technology clients.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work directly with founders, executives, and investors.
• Join a collaborative and entrepreneurial legal team.
• Handle sophisticated venture capital and emerging company matters from day one.
• Enjoy meaningful client contact and relationship ownership.
• Be part of a firm culture that values excellence, responsiveness, and long-term client partnerships.
• Opportunity to develop a broad practice spanning venture financings, securities, M&A, and outside general counsel work.
