Corporate Attorney/Senior Corporate Attorney

Job Description

Job Description Senior Corporate Attorney Location: New York City, NY

Overview A boutique, high-performing corporate practice is seeking a Senior Corporate Attorney (6+ years) with strong experience in corporate transactional work—particularly sell-side M&A . This role offers immediate integration into a sophisticated deal practice with meaningful exposure to healthcare and defense contracting transactions.

If you’re looking for a position where you can take ownership, work closely with experienced partners, and maintain a healthy work/life balance (1600–1800 billable hours) , this is an exceptional opportunity.

Why This Role Stands Out

Work on complex, high-stakes transactions with direct client access.

Gain deep experience in healthcare (diagnostic labs, provider groups) and defense contracting , two rapidly growing and highly specialized sectors.

Take on real responsibility—drafting, negotiating, and driving deals forward.

Join a team that values professional growth without sacrificing lifestyle or well-being.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and support sell-side M&A transactions , frequently opposite private equity buyers or PE-backed acquirers.

Advise clients across industries, with strong exposure to healthcare and defense contracting transactions.

Provide occasional support for hospital and healthcare regulatory matters when needed.

Draft, review, and negotiate key transactional documents, including purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, and ancillary agreements.

Conduct due diligence and deliver practical, commercially aligned guidance throughout the transaction lifecycle.

Collaborate closely with partners and senior attorneys on deal execution and ongoing client relationships.

Provide solutions-oriented legal advice that matches clients’ business objectives.

What Makes This Role Unique

Handle high-profile and industry-specific transactions that build rare marketable expertise.

Opportunity to grow in two niche, in-demand sectors : healthcare and defense.

Fast-paced environment with significant client interaction and autonomy.

True work/life balance : 1600–1800 billable hours , far below typical BigLaw demands.

Long-term visibility and a real pathway to building a standout transactional practice.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 6+ years of corporate transactional experience (sell-side M&A strongly preferred).
• Background or strong interest in healthcare transactions or healthcare regulatory work.
• Business-oriented, solution-focused mindset.
• Excellent drafting, analytical, and negotiation skills.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• NY or FL bar strongly preferred (or ability to obtain admission).

Bonus: Performance-based, typically 10–20%

Benefits: Full health benefits coverage

Lifestyle: Predictable hours, 1600–1800 billables , and a supportive, growth-oriented culture
