Technology Transactions Associate | San Francisco | Am Law 100

Watts & Associates Recruitment
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 7/20/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/10/2027

Watts & Associates is working discreetly with a highly regarded Am Law 100 ranked international law firm seeking a 3rd to 6th year Technology Transactions Associate Attorney to join its San Francisco, California office.


This role supports sophisticated technology and intellectual property transactions for innovative companies, with a steady flow of complex drafting, negotiation, commercial counseling, and transactional support work.


The firm offers an international platform with a collaborative and team oriented culture, strong cross practice resources, mentoring and sponsorship support, and meaningful exposure to sophisticated client matters.


The Opportunity


You will advise on and negotiate software, technology, and content licensing agreements, along with development and professional services arrangements. The role also includes support for strategic transactions, including M and A and equity financing matters, through transaction agreement support and contract and intellectual property due diligence. This is an office based position in San Francisco.


Ideal Candidate Profile


The firm is seeking a 3rd to 6th year Technology Transactions Associate Attorney with:


  • 3 to 6 years of associate experience with strong intellectual property law knowledge
  • Experience drafting and negotiating software, technology, and content licensing agreements
  • Experience with development and professional services agreements
  • Experience supporting M and A or equity financing transactions, including drafting support and contract and intellectual property due diligence
  • Bar admission in at least one United States jurisdiction, with California preferred


Why This Opportunity Stands Out


This is a strong fit for an associate seeking a transactions focused technology practice with direct involvement in sophisticated commercial agreements and strategic corporate transactions. The role offers the opportunity to work closely with experienced practitioners across corporate and intellectual property disciplines while developing practical judgment, negotiation skills, and client facing experience.


Compensation


The anticipated salary range for this role is $260,000 to $365,000, depending on class year, experience and other relevant factors.


Relevant search terms: technology transactions, intellectual property transactions, software licensing, technology licensing, content licensing, SaaS agreements, cloud services agreements, commercial contracts, development agreements, professional services agreements, strategic transactions, M and A support, equity financing support, contract due diligence, IP due diligence, artificial intelligence agreements, fintech agreements, semiconductor transactions, ecommerce transactions, media transactions, entertainment transactions
