The Role
We're looking for a Corporate Attorney to join our growing team.
This is a transactional role at its core—you'll be counseling clients through some of the most pivotal moments of their business lives, from their first funding round to a multi-million-dollar acquisition.
You'll work across a diverse client base ranging from early-stage startups to mature businesses in industries including technology, manufacturing, professional services, health and wellness, and real estate.
You'll be both a trusted advisor and a hands-on dealmaker.
Our attorneys don't just review documents—they think strategically, bring creative solutions to the table, and build lasting relationships with clients who come back deal after deal.
What You'll Do
Counsel clients through complex transactions including M&A, equity financings, partnership structuring, contract negotiation, and regulatory compliance
Negotiate and close investment deals and buyouts for multi-million-dollar companies, including in the technology and insurance sectors
Draft and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts and agreements
Advise clients on capital raises under Regulation D and ensure ongoing compliance
Structure and negotiate partnership and shareholder agreements; resolve business disputes among members and shareholders outside of litigation
Act as outside general counsel to clients across various industries, providing strategic, ongoing legal support
Advise franchisors and franchisees on franchise-related matters, including FDD review and compliance
Counsel clients on intellectual property matters, including trademarks
Support clients in commercial real estate transactions and investment structuring
Advise companies in emerging industries on securities, private equity, and technology/e-commerce matters
Build and maintain your own client relationships and, where applicable, bring and grow a book of business
