- Represent venture capital funds and investors in financings and portfolio matters
- Collaborate with clients and deal teams on fast-moving, high-impact transactions
What We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years of experience in emerging companies, venture capital, or corporate transactions
- Experience at a comparable law firm preferred
- Strong drafting, analytical, and deal management skills
- Excellent communication and client relationship skills
- Strong academic credentials; quantitative and Excel skills are a plus
- J.D. and admission to a U.S. Bar (or eligibility)
Why This Role:
- Work with innovative startups and leading venture-backed companies
- Join a collaborative, high-performing ECVC practice
- Gain exposure to the full company lifecycle—from formation to exit
- Competitive compensation: $260,000 – $365,000 + discretionary bonus
