Corporate Associate
Full-time
Lex Key Partners
Lex Key Partners is working exclusively with an elite boutique business law firm to fill two unposted corporate associate positions . These roles are not advertised by the firm, and inquiries are confidential.
I’ve partnered with this firm’s leadership for years and have helped build the majority of its current attorney team, so I can speak candidly about the work, the people, and the culture.
Why this firm stands out
- Fully remote with lean hours , and the substance of a high-end transactional practice
- Bonus eligible at just 1,400 hours
- Very attractive base compensation for the required hours
- Founded by former Top 30 AmLaw attorneys who bring big-firm quality without big-firm hours
- Business is booming, with new clients coming on weekly
- Sophisticated work for high-end clients, within a true lifestyle culture
About the practice
The group has advised hundreds of clients, large and small, on more than $10 billion in acquisitions, equity investments, debt financings, joint ventures, divestitures and other corporate transactions. Associates work directly with partners on live deals across three connected areas:
- Venture capital & emerging growth: Company-side and investor-side work, from formation, founder agreements and SAFEs through Seed to Series C+ preferred financings, equity plans, secondaries and exits.
- M&A: Buy-side and sell-side deals from founder exits to large acquisitions, including platform and add-on transactions, management buyouts and cross-border matters.
- Private equity & independent sponsors: Recapitalizations, co-investment arrangements, SPVs, management equity structuring and portfolio company counsel.
What you’ll do
- Draft and negotiate financing documents, LOIs, purchase agreements and ancillaries
- Run and coordinate due diligence
- Handle R&W insurance, earnouts, escrows and indemnification provisions
- Serve as a day-to-day contact for founders, investors, sponsors and business owners
- Manage deals from signing to closing with real autonomy
What you bring
- 3–6 years of corporate transactional experience at an AmLaw, regional or strong boutique firm
- Emerging growth/venture capital or M&A experience; both is ideal
- The ability to run documents and diligence with limited supervision
- Strong drafting, judgment and client communication skills
- Active bar admission in good standing [confirm any state preference]
