What are the responsibilities and job description for the Corporate Associate [Junior] @ NYC Media Boutique position at Whistler Partners?
An elite New York platform is hiring two junior corporate associates to join a high-visibility Corporate Transactions team. Ideal for 2022–2023 grads (and strong juniors more broadly) with major-firm training who want accelerated reps across M&A and adjacent workstreams (capital markets, credit facilities, and venture). The group prizes top academics, crisp drafting, and a commercial mindset.
Why this role?
Step into a lean team where juniors touch deals end-to-end—diligence, principal docs, and closing execution—with partners who invest in training and give early client exposure. Expect steady sponsor/strategic deal flow, cross-practice collaboration (marketing/advertising, tech, media), and a culture that rewards initiative without BigLaw churn.
Top Requirements
- 2 years of large law firm transactional experience (2022–2023 classes strongly preferred)
- M&A experience strongly preferred; Capital Markets, Credit Facilities, and VC backgrounds considered
- Excellent academic credentials and writing/drafting skills
- Team-first, detail-obsessed, and comfortable managing fast-moving deal tasks
