Senior Corporate & Securities Attorney

New York, NY | Hybrid

About the role

A nationally recognized midsize law firm is seeking a Senior-Level Corporate Associate to join its highly active Corporate & Securities practice in Midtown Manhattan. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced corporate attorney who wants to continue handling sophisticated securities and transactional work while moving to a smaller, collaborative platform with meaningful client interaction and a hybrid schedule. The firm is approximately 70 attorneys and is nationally recognized for its securities practice, with substantial activity across public and private capital markets transactions.

Why join us

This is a particularly strong opportunity for an attorney coming from BigLaw or another sophisticated corporate platform who wants to remain in high-level securities and capital markets work without being one of hundreds of attorneys in a massive corporate department. You’ll join a nationally recognized securities practice, work directly with clients, take meaningful ownership of matters, and have the opportunity to develop your own relationships and business over time.

• Public company reporting and governance
• Equity financings and other capital raises
• Mergers & acquisitions
• General corporate counseling
• SEC research and securities-law analysis
• Counseling high-growth and early-stage companies

The role offers meaningful client responsibility and is well suited for someone comfortable managing matters independently while working closely with senior attorneys and clients.
