Are you a driven capital markets attorney ready to take ownership of sophisticated transactions and work alongside dynamic deal teams? We’re seeking a talented Corporate Associate (2–5 years’ experience) to join a high-performing practice advising issuers and market participants on complex securities matters.

The Role

You will work closely with Partners and senior attorneys on a broad range of capital markets and securities matters, including:


Capital Markets Transactions

  • Advising on IPOs (SPAC experience a plus), secondary offerings, PIPEs, registered direct offerings, private placements, resales, and other securities transactions
  • Drafting and negotiating registration statements, private placement memoranda, purchase agreements, warrant agreements, convertible notes, and registration rights agreements
  • Supporting entity formation and structuring charters, bylaws, LLC agreements, and other organizational documents
  • Preparing and reviewing comfort letters, legal opinions, certifications, and diligence materials
  • Managing deal execution alongside issuers, investment banks, auditors, and financial advisors
  • Liaising with regulators including the SEC, FINRA, and major stock exchanges to obtain necessary approvals and clearances
  • Contributing strategically to deal structuring discussions and creative problem-solving to drive transactions to closing


Ongoing Securities & Compliance

  • Drafting and reviewing prospectuses, proxy statements, and registration statements
  • Preparing public disclosures and securities filings, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and Section 16 filings
  • Supporting compliance documentation for NYSE and NASDAQ filings
  • Assisting with regulatory communications and ad hoc securities projects


What We’re Looking For

  • Qualified to practice law in New York and in good standing
  • 2–5 years of capital markets experience (SPAC experience advantageous)
  • Exceptional drafting and analytical skills
  • Strong communicator with sound judgment and commercial awareness
  • Ability to manage multiple matters in a deadline-driven environment


The Right Fit


You are:

✔ Ethical, dependable, and trusted by colleagues and clients

✔ Solutions-oriented, not blame-focused

✔ Comfortable working through complexity and ambiguity

✔ Detail-driven but able to see the broader commercial picture

✔ Energized by a fast-paced transactional environment


This role offers meaningful client exposure, hands-on deal experience, and the chance to work on sophisticated, high-profile transactions in an environment that values collaboration, precision, and creative thinking.


If you're ready to elevate your capital markets career and play a key role in executing transformative transactions, we’d love to hear from you.
