Corporate Paralegal (M&A)

$200k - $225k

Plona Partners

Overview Salary: $200,000 - $225,000 with additional OT and Annual Bonus

A highly respected AmLaw-caliber law firm is expanding its SV corporate platform and is seeking a Senior Corporate Paralegal with deep experience supporting M&A, emerging companies & venture capital (ECVC), and fund formation matters.

This role is built for a high-performing paralegal who operates as a true extension of deal teams—someone trusted on complex transactions, not just execution.

Why This Role Is Different Top-of-market compensation for elite paralegals ($160,000 - $200,000 + depending on experience)

Consistent exposure to sophisticated M&A, VC financings, and fund formation work

Work directly with market-leading partners and repeat institutional clients

Strong infrastructure, staffing, and respect for senior paralegal judgment

Clear expectation of autonomy, ownership, and technical excellence

Core Responsibilities Support M&A transactions from LOI through closing (buyer- and seller-side)

Manage ECVC financings, including stock issuances, cap tables, and closing mechanics

Assist with fund formation matters, including entity formation, regulatory filings, and investor documentation

Draft, review, and coordinate transaction documents and closing sets

Maintain and manage cap tables, equity records, and corporate governance materials

Prepare and file state, federal, and regulatory filings

Coordinate multi-party closings, signature packets, and post-closing deliverables

Serve as a key liaison between attorneys, clients, and external stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications 4+ years of corporate paralegal experience in BigLaw or elite mid-market firms

Demonstrated strength in M&A and venture-backed company work

Fund formation exposure strongly preferred
