A prominent national law firm is seeking a talented and entrepreneurial associate to join its Emerging Companies & Venture Capital (ECVC) practice group in the New York office. This position is designed for associates with 3 to 6 years of relevant experience counseling startups, emerging growth companies, and venture capital investors through the full company lifecycle. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in general corporate and transactional work, with particular experience advising high-growth technology and life sciences companies on formation, financing, governance, and operational matters. The role also includes representing venture capital firms and other institutional investors in equity financings, SAFEs, convertible notes, and other early-stage investment structures. Applicants should demonstrate a deep understanding of market terms in venture financings, as well as comfort managing and negotiating complex deal documents such as stock purchase agreements, investors' rights agreements, and operating agreements. Experience with M&A involving venture-backed companies is a plus. Candidates must possess strong academic credentials and have experience at a respected law firm or a well-established boutique with a focus on emerging companies. Exceptional communication, organizational, and drafting skills are essential, as is a commitment to providing practical, business-oriented legal advice in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Admission to the New York State Bar (or eligibility for prompt admission) is required. Applicants should submit a resume and law school transcript for consideration.
