Corporate Law · 3–6 Years of Experience · US State Bar Admission
The mid-level corporate associate years are often spent executing narrow pieces of a transaction without seeing the broader strategic picture. This position, with a highly regarded Am Law 100 firm, is designed for an attorney ready to step out of the back room and into a lead execution role. You will manage transaction workstreams, direct specialist teams, and advise a sophisticated mix of public and private companies, private equity funds, and financial institutions across a national platform.
The Work
The practice provides a full range of corporate and commercial services, meaning your day-to-day will go far beyond standard due diligence checklist management. You will actively spearhead M&A transactions, draft primary deal documents, manage specialist input (tax, ERISA, regulatory), and serve as a primary point of contact for clients. The platform is structured to allow associates to operate with meaningful autonomy, handling multiple assignments with minimal supervision while backed by deep partner support.
Who This Is For
This role is ideal for a 3rd to 6th-year corporate associate who feels siloed in their current practice and wants more ownership over deals. While strong M&A experience is required, the firm welcomes corporate generalists with robust commercial transaction backgrounds who want to lean heavily into sophisticated M&A. You should possess the confidence to run due diligence teams and the technical skill to draft complex transaction documents under light supervision.
The Platform
The firm has successfully balanced a massive national footprint with a culture that values individual flexibility. They operate on a structured hybrid model-three days per week in the office-designed to ensure you get the face-time, mentorship, and relationship-building necessary for partnership tracking, without sacrificing work-life balance. Because the corporate practice is national, you can sit in any of their major US metropolitan offices while working on high-profile, cross-border, and multi-jurisdictional deals.
Compensation and Benefits
The anticipated initial annual base salary range for this position is $180,000 to $315,000, unbundled from lockstep to reflect your specific market location, experience, and technical skill.
Beyond base salary, the total compensation package includes:
• Productivity and discretionary performance bonuses
• Comprehensive health, life, accident, and disability insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan with firm contribution
• A robust professional development and mentorship framework
Apply in Confidence
If you are looking for a platform that offers sophisticated Am Law 100 work without the rigid, institutional silo effect, let's have a preliminary conversation.
