$225k - $310kAdvocates Legal Recruiting
Corporate Associate - Private Equity (Jr to Mid-Level) Silicon Valley, United States | Posted on 01/22/2026 Private Equity Associate (3rd-6th year) San Francisco or Menlo Park | Sponsor-side deals Our AmLaw 100 client is building in its Bay Area private equity group and wants a midlevel associate who can run sponsor-side work with real responsibility. This platform stays busy across the cycle and is consistently at the top of global M&A and private equity league tables. Role summary Represent leading PE sponsors and portfolio companies on acquisitions, dispositions, add-ons, and exits. Draft and negotiate core deal documents (LOIs, purchase agreements, equity rollover, management incentive, ancillary agreements). Coordinate diligence, deal execution, and closings across specialists (finance, tax, antitrust, exec comp) and across offices for cross-border work. Exposure to sophisticated carve-outs, take-privates, and complex sponsor mandates when the deal requires it. Candidate profile 3rd-6th year associate (minimum 2 years of private equity transactional experience). Strong sponsor-side M&A reps. If your experience is more general M&A but you have meaningful PE exposure, that can still work. Comfortable driving workstreams, turning comments quickly, and owning documents without hand-holding. California bar preferred for Bay Area-based practice (or a clear plan/timeline to get there). Why this role Deal volume and market access: the PE group runs a massive annual sponsor deal load (500+ deals; $500B+ in aggregate value is the stated scale). Training and trajectory: you will work directly with partners who stay close to execution, with room to step up as a true deal lead. Platform strength: recognized in Chambers for elite corporate/M&A capability, and regularly credited for top-tier results in major league tables. Benefits and support: the firm’s long-running well-being program is built to be used, not just marketed. Comp: Cravath-scale base, plus discretionary bonus (posted scale includes $225k to $310k base for the relevant classes). Interested? Reply here or message me for a confidential discussion. If you send a resume, include your deal sheet or a short summary of sponsor-side reps.
