Job Description

As a mid-level associate, you’ll advise growth-stage companies, creative brands, and institutional investors across private equity, venture capital, and M&A transactions—gaining true ownership over your matters in a deal team that blends sophistication with sustainability.

This is the rare corporate platform where you get high-caliber work with name-brand clients, but without the burnout. Associates are empowered to lead, collaborate across offices, and grow as trusted advisors from the moment they join.

Why This Role Catalyzes Your Growth

Client-Facing by Design:

You’ll be in the driver’s seat on calls, closings, and drafting processes. Associates here don’t “paper” deals—they help shape them, and interface directly with clients early in their tenure.

Multi-Industry Deal Exposure:

Work with clients across media, entertainment, consumer products, and tech—on transactions that span private equity investments, VC financings, commercial deals, and strategic joint ventures.

Partner-Driven Culture with Room to Breathe:

This isn’t a pyramid model. The group is lean, collaborative, and known for high retention and genuine mentorship. Partners are hands-on teachers, not figureheads.

Defined Growth Without Guesswork:

Whether you’re working toward partner or preparing for an eventual in-house move, you’ll get reps that matter and a track that’s navigable—with support from people who’ve walked it.

Balanced, Not Burned Out:

You’ll be expected to show up, not give up your life. Associates report a strong balance of autonomy and accountability, with clear structure: 3 days in-office (Wednesdays required) and manageable workloads.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • 3–4 years of law firm experience in corporate transactions
  • Strong exposure to private equity, M&A, venture capital, or joint ventures
  • Confident communicator with strong drafting skills and commercial instincts
  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple projects across offices
  • Admitted to practice in New York

Compensation

  • Base Salary Range: $235,000–$260,000
  • Bonus Eligibility: Based on performance
  • Work Structure: 3 days in-office per week, including Wednesdays
  • Benefits: Comprehensive health, vision, dental, 401(k), PTO, and more
