Corporate Associate Attorney - Startup and Venture Capital Group

$260k - $390k

Direct Counsel

Job Description

Job Description

Direct Counsel is partnering with a top-tier technology and life sciences law firm seeking Corporate Associates for its dynamic and internationally recognized corporate practice. This group advises some of the most innovative startups and high-growth companies in the world—from early-stage disruptors to mature, publicly traded market leaders.

About the Role

The firm is seeking attorneys with 3+ years of sophisticated corporate law experience, specifically within:

  • Startup and emerging company representation

  • Venture capital financings (company- and investor-side)

  • General corporate governance

  • Strategic counseling for founders and high-growth teams

Candidates must bring:

  • Prior law firm experience (in-house experience is welcomed with a firm foundation)

  • A strong affinity for technology and life sciences clients

  • Excellent drafting, communication, and relationship-building skills

  • Superior academic credentials

  • Bar admission (or eligibility to sit/waive in) in the office’s jurisdiction

This role offers meaningful client-facing responsibility and the opportunity to work with companies at the forefront of innovation—supporting them from formation through fundraising, growth, and beyond.

About the Practice

The corporate group is known globally for its deep experience representing emerging companies and venture investors. The team handles formation, financings, strategic transactions, governance, and day-to-day operational matters for companies building the next generation of breakthrough technologies.

Offices include:

  • Bay Area (Mountain View & San Francisco)

  • Seattle

  • Santa Monica

  • Boston
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base Salary Range: $260,000 – $390,000

  • Discretionary performance bonus

  • Comprehensive benefits package, including:

    • Healthcare

    • Life Insurance

    • Health Savings & Flexible Spending Accounts

    • Wellbeing programs

  • Salary is based on experience, qualifications, education, licensure, and office location.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role provides the chance to partner directly with founders, investors, and executive teams shaping the future of technology and life sciences. It’s an ideal platform for attorneys who love fast-paced, strategic work and want to grow within one of the nation’s leading ECVC practices.

About Direct Counsel

Direct Counsel partners with leading law firms and in-house legal departments nationwide to connect talented attorneys with outstanding opportunities. We take pride in matching professionals with roles that align with their expertise, values, and long-term career goals.
