  • Manage transaction timelines, closing checklists, disclosure schedules, and closing deliverables.
  • Collaborate with attorneys across tax, finance, employment, intellectual property, and regulatory practice areas to provide comprehensive legal counsel.
  • Communicate directly with clients and transaction stakeholders while delivering practical, business-focused legal advice.
  • Manage multiple transactions simultaneously while maintaining exceptional attention to detail and responsiveness.
  • Stay current on developments in corporate law, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and market trends affecting clients.

Qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor (JD) or LLM from an ABA-accredited law school.

  • 3 to 4 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions and private equity transactions.
  • Experience representing private equity sponsors, financial institutions, portfolio companies, or strategic corporate clients.
  • Strong drafting, negotiation, analytical, and legal research skills.
  • Experience supporting sophisticated transactions from inception through closing.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
  • Demonstrated commitment to exceptional client service and professional excellence.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively in a team-oriented environment.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience with leveraged buyouts, growth equity investments, recapitalizations, and joint ventures.
  • Experience representing private equity funds, independent sponsors, or family offices.
  • Familiarity with corporate finance, securities law, and capital markets transactions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
