About the role

Overview: The firm's Corporate Transactions Group handles complex transactions across various industries, with particular depth in private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and the energy sector (including power, renewable energy, and oil and gas). The role involves working closely with Partner Jay Hughes, whose practice spans public and private mergers and acquisitions, energy transactions, and financings across industrial, oil and gas, power, and renewable energy industries, advising on matters ranging from multi-million-dollar deals to transactions valued at fifteen billion dollars, including business acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, project development, and power asset transactions. The role also involves working with Senior Associate Devin Crisanti, whose practice focuses on advising private equity firms, independent sponsors, and private companies on mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, other business combinations, and general corporate matters, with a significant portion of his work involving Canada-U.S. cross-border transactions. Associates will be involved in every stage of the deal lifecycle, from structuring and negotiation through closing, gaining hands-on experience across a diverse range of sophisticated corporate deals, including energy transactions, private equity acquisitions, and cross-border M&A. Key responsibilities include assisting in the structuring, financing, negotiation, and execution of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other corporate transactions across various industries; drafting and negotiating key transaction documents; supporting private equity and independent sponsor transactions (including leveraged buyouts, platform acquisitions, and add-on investments); advising legal and business teams on both domestic and cross-border matters; supporting energy-related transactions (including acquisitions and dispositions of power assets, joint ventures, and project development matters); conducting due diligence; and assisting with general corporate advisory matters for private company clients. The firm offers billable hours credit for pro bono work.

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.
