About the role
We’re hiring a Business Advisory & Transactional Team Leader to serve as a player-coach. You’ll balance a selective personal docket with the leadership of a small, high-performing team. Your mandate: distribute work intelligently, enforce standards, and keep clients confident through predictable execution. You’ll still step into negotiations and strategic moments, while owning team-level performance and client satisfaction. This Is Your Seat If You want to keep practicing at a high level and lead a team: not choose between the two. You’d rather build a repeatable process than let each matter run on individual style. You hold people to a standard, then coach them up to it. You’re comfortable being judged on your team’s numbers, not just your own docket. You catch a risk or a stalled matter before it becomes a client problem.
Then Responsibilities

- Structure executive compensation, including offer letters and equity grants and vesting.
- Counsel on board architecture and operations — board structure, meetings, consents, resolutions, minutes, reporting, and formalities — plus director elections, proxies, and shareholder relations.
- Advise on corporate authority matters, including delegations of authority and approval matrices.
- Run the Deals
- Negotiate joint venture agreements, licensing, distribution, and co-marketing agreements.
- Draft and negotiate commercial contracts (MSAs, SOWs, vendor and customer terms) and SaaS/subscription terms (MSAs, order forms, renewals).
- Support capital raises (SAFEs, notes, seed rounds) and investor diligence, and structure debt financing and credit facilities, including secured and unsecured loans, lines of credit, and UCC filings.
- Run mergers, acquisitions, and sales of business assets, including buy-side and sell-side due diligence packages.
- Represent franchisors (development, agreements, compliance, franchisee relations) and franchisees (compliance, enforcement of rights, transactions).
- Manage Risk and Lifecycle Events
- Advise on enterprise risk management: insurance, indemnity, specialized compliance, and D&O coverage.
- Build contract management playbooks, compliance calendars, policies, and training, and manage corporate records and data privacy (records retention, baseline data privacy compliance, vendor terms, incident plans).
- Handle crisis corporate actions: rapid consents and restructures — and business wind-down and dissolution.
- Spot tax issues and coordinate with specialists, and advise on asset protection: titling, structuring, creditor protection, insurance overlay, and estate planning alignment.
- Leadership and Delivery
- Run the weekly team operating meeting: review scorecards, staffing/case mix, SLA health, risks, and priorities; remove blockers and keep matters on plan.
- Ensure even work distribution and throughput to hit utilization and SLA targets; uphold adoption of playbooks, templates, and tech.
- Coach attorneys and paralegals to execute the proven process and QA standards — no ad-hoc practice.
- Own client satisfaction, retention, and expansion across your team’s portfolio; maintain alignment calls and decision logs.
- Keep a select personal docket focused on high-impact negotiations, governance counseling, and complex structuring.
- Partner with Practice Area Managers to validate data integrity, dashboard health, and early-warning signals.
