About the role

Overview: The role involves leading transactions and direct interaction with founders, CEOs, management teams, and boards of directors at both company-side and VC/investor-side clients. Work focuses on high-growth businesses at all stages, from pre-seed to pre-IPO, including SAFEs, preferred stock financings, corporate governance matters, and general corporate work. Associates counsel management on matters such as company formation and exits, often handling diverse matters daily. The practice group advises both emerging growth companies and venture capital firms and institutional investors, allowing associates to gain experience on both sides of negotiations. Practice group clients represent diverse industries, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, digital health and wellness, defense tech, life sciences, electronic gaming, and fintech.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
