JOB DESCRIPTION

Leading Am Law 50 Firm — Corporate / Technology Transactions

About the Firm

Our client is an Am Law 50 global law firm widely regarded as a market leader in serving the innovation economy. The firm's platform is built to support high-growth companies, leading private equity and venture capital sponsors, and major financial institutions across complex, cross-border transactions. With a deep bench of transactional talent and an integrated, cross-practice approach, the firm consistently ranks among the most active advisors on capital markets, M&A, and emerging company transactions in the technology and life sciences sectors.

Practice Overview

The firm's globally recognized Technology Companies practice is uniquely positioned to partner with innovators and investors operating in a fast-moving, tech-driven environment. With more than 230 dedicated lawyers spanning all major sector hubs in the United States, Europe, and Asia, the practice advises companies at every stage of the corporate life cycle — from early-stage formation and venture financings through IPOs, public company representation, and transformative M&A — as well as the investors, lenders, and strategic partners in the broader ecosystem.

The group's work is dynamic, high-profile, and often first-of-its-kind, covering venture capital and growth equity financings, initial public offerings and follow-on offerings, SPACs and de-SPAC transactions, public and private M&A (buy-side and sell-side), corporate governance and SEC compliance, and joint ventures and strategic partnerships. Associates in this practice gain direct exposure to sophisticated deal work, regular client contact, and mentorship from partners who are recognized leaders in the space.

Position

Mid-Level Corporate Associate — Technology Transactions

Our client is seeking a mid-level corporate associate to join its Technology Companies group in any of the firm's key U.S. offices. This is an opportunity to work alongside a nationally ranked team on high-volume, market-shaping transactions for some of the most recognizable names in technology. The role offers meaningful responsibility, significant client exposure, and a clear trajectory for professional growth within a collegial and entrepreneurial practice environment.

• Engaging directly with clients and building relationships within the firm's broader technology network

Qualifications

• Experience: 3–5 years of substantive experience in corporate and transactional law at a major law firm, with a strong foundation across the deal life cycle
• Subject Matter Depth: Demonstrated experience in public company representation, registered equity offerings, ongoing SEC reporting, and M&A transactions (both public and private)
• Industry Exposure: Prior experience advising technology companies is strongly preferred; however, the group will also consider candidates with a genuine interest in and aptitude for the practice area, even without direct technology-sector experience
• Class Year: Class of 2023 and above
• Skills: Strong analytical, drafting, and negotiation skills; ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced deal environment; excellent judgment and attention to detail
• Bar Admission: Must be admitted (or eligible for admission) in the jurisdiction of the target office
