What are the responsibilities and job description for the ✨ Mid-level Corporate Transactions Associate | $230K Salary | Hybrid Flexibility | San Francisco position at We Are Legal Revolution?
✨ Mid-level Corporate Transactions Associate | ~$230K Base | Hybrid | Silicon Valley - Hybrid
Title: Corporate Transactions Associate (mid-level)
Location: Silicon Valley – hybrid (office on the Peninsula / Menlo Park area)
Base Salary: Around $230K (DOE) bonus
This is a specialist corporate boutique in the heart of the Silicon Valley venture ecosystem, looking to add a mid-level corporate / transactional associate to their growing team.
This is ideal if you enjoy sophisticated deal work with founder- and investor-led clients, but want more autonomy, visibility, and a genuine path to partnership than you’d get in BigLaw.
The Firm (in a nutshell):
Specialist corporate & securities boutique embedded in the startup / venture capital ecosystem
Represents a mix of:
- High-growth private tech and life sciences companies
- Founders and C-suite executives
- Angel, seed, venture and secondary investment funds
- Institutional and individual investors in primary and secondary transactions
Work spans the full company lifecycle: formation → financings → strategic transactions / exits → secondary sales and investor liquidity
Small partner-led teams, very hands-on exposure, and genuine client contact from day one
Role focus:
- Venture financings (seed through late-stage preferred rounds)
- M&A (buy-side and sell-side for private companies and investors)
- Secondary transactions (private company stock and fund interests)
- General corporate & securities work (governance, cap tables, equity plans, investor rights, etc.)
You’ll run deals with partner support, manage day-to-day client communications, and be a key point of contact for founders, funds, and executives.
What’s On Offer:
- Comp: Approx. $230K base bonus (commensurate with experience and performance)
- Path to Partnership: Clear, realistic route with genuine equity and leadership potential
- Client Exposure: Direct access to founders, investors and fund managers rather than being buried in a giant team
- Sophisticated Work: Cutting-edge venture deals, secondary transactions and complex private-company M&A
- Hybrid Flexibility: Split of office / remote that still keeps you plugged into the Silicon Valley network
- Tight-knit Team: Small, highly experienced partner group; collaborative, no-ego culture
Ideal Profile:
3–7 years’ experience in corporate / emerging companies / M&A at a major firm or well-regarded boutique
Comfortably running:
- Preferred stock financings
- Private M&A deals
- General corporate & governance matters
- Strong drafting and negotiation skills, especially in:
- Stock purchase / investment documents
- M&A agreements
- Investor / founder-level documentation
- Genuine interest in the venture / startup and investment fund ecosystem
- Enjoys working closely with partners, mentoring juniors and owning client relationships
