The Role

We are seeking an experienced Corporate & Business Attorney to join our growing transactional practice. In this role, you will act as a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs, executives, and closely held businesses, managing their legal needs from formation to exit.

• Mergers & Acquisitions: Structure, draft, and negotiate complex M&A transactions, asset purchases, and stock purchase agreements.
• Commercial Contracts: Draft, review, and negotiate a wide variety of business agreements, including vendor contracts, licensing agreements, and executive compensation plans.
• Business Counseling: Act as outside general counsel for clients, advising on day‑to‑day operational compliance, risk management, and asset protection strategies.

What We Are Looking For (Requirements)

• Licensing: Must possess an active, in‑good‑standing license to practice law in the State of California (California State Bar). This is non‑negotiable.
• Experience: 4 to 8+ years of dedicated experience in Corporate Law, Business Transactions, or M&A.
• Drafting Expertise: Exceptional contract drafting and negotiation skills with a meticulous eye for detail.
• Client‑Facing Confidence: The ability to communicate complex legal and tax concepts to business owners in a practical, easy‑to‑understand manner.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: A self‑starter who thrives in a collaborative, cross‑functional firm environment.

What We Offer

• Highly competitive base salary commensurate with experience.
• A realistic, achievable billable hour requirement that respects your life outside the office.
• Comprehensive benefits package (Health, Dental, Vision, Retirement).
• The opportunity to practice high‑level corporate law while enjoying the unmatched lifestyle of San Diego.
