What are the responsibilities and job description for the Life Sciences Corporate Transactional Associate position at Advocates Legal Recruiting?


Life Sciences Corporate Associate | 3 to 5 Years | Multiple U.S. Offices

Our AmLaw 100 client is hiring a mid-level associate into its Life Sciences corporate practice.

This is a broad company-side role for a lawyer who wants real reps across the life cycle of growth-stage and public life sciences companies. The position can sit in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, San Francisco, or Silicon Valley.

What you’ll do

You’ll work on corporate transactions for venture-backed private companies and public companies in the life sciences space, including:


• Equity financings
• IPOs and other registered offerings
• Ongoing SEC reporting and public company representation
• M&A transactions
• Corporate governance matters


You should expect to run meaningful pieces of deals, work directly with clients, and handle more than checklist execution.

What we’re looking for


• 3 to 5 years of corporate and transactional experience at a comparable law firm
• Strong background in public company work, registered equity offerings, SEC representation, and M&A
• Life sciences experience is helpful, but not required if your interest in the sector is real
• Someone who can work well with a team but also own substantial parts of a transaction without hand-holding
• Strong academics, solid judgment, and bar admission in the relevant market, or the ability to get admitted quickly


Why this role

This is not a narrow seat. The practice touches financings, exits, public company work, and day-to-day counseling for serious life sciences clients, with room to build range instead of getting boxed into one product.

It is also a strong platform for associates who want better exposure to company-side strategy. You’ll be close to founders, boards, investors, and management teams, and you’ll work alongside lawyers who sit at the intersection of venture capital, capital markets, M&A, and healthcare.

For the right mid-level associate, this is a smart move: strong brand, sophisticated deal flow, and a practice built for lawyers who want to stay close to the life sciences market as it evolves.
