About the Role

M&A Associate

Boutique Law Firm

Class Years: 4th–7th years

Locations: New York, Los Angeles, or Dallas

Our client, a boutique law firm with fewer than 50 attorneys, is seeking two mid-level M&A Associates to join their growing team. The firm specializes in sophisticated, full-service M&A transactions, primarily serving middle-market private equity firms and other financial sponsors.

What sets this firm apart is its unique culture. Comprised largely of ex-Big Law attorneys, it offers a refreshing alternative to traditional Big Law environments. While working on highly sophisticated, Chambers-ranked matters, the firm maintains a collegial and non-hierarchical culture.

Key Details:

Work closely with blue-chip sponsors and middle-market funds on high-profile M&A transactions. Collaborate with a team of approachable and experienced attorneys who prioritize mentorship and career development. Join a firm that combines the sophistication of Big Law practice with a family-like atmosphere. Benefit from a transparent career progression track and competitive compensation at the Cravath scale.

Requirements:

4th–7th year associate with strong M&A experience from a top firm (private equity focus preferred). Collaborative, humble, and eager to contribute to a firm with a long-term vision for its attorneys. Must demonstrate excellent academic credentials and thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
