ECVC Associate (midlevel 3+)

Advocates Legal Recruiting
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/29/2026

Midlevel ECVC Associate | Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Palo Alto

Our AmLaw 100 client is adding a midlevel associate to its Emerging Companies and Venture Capital team in California. This is a practice built around founders, growth-stage companies, and the funds behind them. The work is sophisticated, the client base is serious, and associates are kept close to the deals.

Role Summary
You would advise innovative companies across the full lifecycle, including formation, venture financings, day-to-day corporate matters, and M&A. The practice also represents investors, which gives this role a broader market view than a pure company-side seat.

Candidate Profile
Candidates should have at least 3 years of experience at a comparable law firm with meaningful exposure to venture financings and emerging company work. You should be comfortable managing deal documents and closings, keeping multiple workstreams moving, and communicating directly with founders, executives, investors, and opposing counsel. Strong writing, judgment, and quantitative skills are expected. Excel fluency matters in this role.

Why This Role
This is a strong move for an associate who wants better work, better exposure, and a platform that carries weight in the market. You would join a national ECVC practice with a steady mix of formation-stage work, growth financings, and exits, backed by a broader firm with real depth in technology and corporate matters. There is structure here, but not hand-holding. You get substantive responsibility, access to experienced practitioners, and a practice that is active across major venture and tech corridors.

California compensation range is $260,000 to $365,000, plus discretionary bonus and a full benefits package.
