About the Opportunity:

A premier corporate practice representing technology and life sciences companies at every stage of growth is seeking a mid-level associate attorney with substantial mergers and acquisitions experience. This nationally recognized M&A team advises emerging companies, unicorns, and global publicly traded corporations on high-profile, complex transactions across the tech and life sciences landscape. The group regularly executes multibillion-dollar deals, serial acquisition programs for major strategic buyers, and market-making exits for innovative venture-backed companies. This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of the technology-driven M&A market with an elite team operating across major U.S. innovation hubs.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work on sophisticated domestic and cross-border M&A transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, strategic partnerships, minority investments, and joint ventures.
• Direct exposure to cutting-edge technology and life sciences clients, including emerging startups, high-growth private companies, and market-leading public companies.
• Engage in all phases of the deal lifecycle: structuring, negotiating principal transaction documents, managing diligence, coordinating regulatory and tax issues, and facilitating closing and integration.
• Join a collaborative, high-performance team that is consistently recognized among the strongest M&A practices in the country.
• Benefit from mentorship, professional development support, and opportunities to take on significant responsibility early in your tenure.
• Ability to work from multiple major markets: Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Seattle, Santa Monica, New York, or Boston.

Who You Are:

• A corporate attorney with 3 to 5 years of substantive M&A experience at a leading law firm.
• Skilled in drafting and negotiating purchase agreements, ancillary transaction documents, and organizational documents, as well as managing due diligence and coordinating cross-functional workstreams.
• Comfortable working with fast-paced clients in the technology and/or life sciences sectors; experience or strong affinity for these industries is beneficial.
• Possess strong academic credentials, superb oral and written communication abilities, and excellent interpersonal skills.
• A proactive, detail-oriented team player who thrives in a dynamic environment and can handle multiple matters simultaneously.
• Must be an active member of the bar in the state of the office where you apply, or eligible to sit for or waive into that bar.

Compensation & Structure:

• Compensation Range: 260k to 310k, depending on experience, qualifications, and office location.
• Discretionary bonus potential based on performance.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Life and disability insurance
• Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Accounts
• Wellbeing programs
• Hybrid work structure
• Additional details regarding benefits and bonus eligibility available upon request.
