Mid-Level Corporate Associate | Life Sciences

Location: Multiple Offices | Hybrid Flexibility

Our AmLaw 100 client is looking for a sharp, business-savvy mid-level associate to join one of the most respected Life Sciences teams in the country. This is your shot to step into a seat at the table with a team that advises the most innovative and fast-moving companies across biotech, pharma, healthcare, and tech.

You’ll be handling a broad mix of complex transactions across the company lifecycle, from early-stage equity financings and IPOs to M&A and public company governance. Clients span the globe, with work stretching across the U.S., Asia, and beyond.

What You'll Do:

  • Lead and manage key components of sophisticated transactions for high-growth life sciences and healthcare companies

  • Advise on equity financings, IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and public company reporting

  • Provide strategic counsel to boards and executives on critical governance matters

  • Collaborate with cross-border teams serving a global client base

What You Bring:

  • 3 to 4 years of top-tier experience in corporate and transactional matters

  • Hands-on exposure to M&A, capital markets, SEC compliance, and public company representation

  • Prior life sciences deal work preferred, but an interest in the sector is just as valuable

  • A JD from a top law school and outstanding academic credentials

  • Admission to a relevant U.S. bar (or eligibility to obtain promptly)

Why Make the Move?

  • Practice at the epicenter of life sciences innovation

  • Be part of an award-winning team with a reputation for excellence and mentorship

  • Work with cutting-edge clients who are redefining their industries

  • Enjoy flexibility, responsibility, and direct client interaction from day one
