Associate Attorney, Emerging Companies & Venture Capital

Location: California

Salary: $285K – $370K

Experience: 4–7 Years

Associate Attorney– Emerging Companies & Venture Capital (4–7 Years’ Experience)

Join a dynamic corporate practice advising the innovators, founders, and investors shaping tomorrow’s economy. This role offers the opportunity to work at the center of the startup ecosystem, guiding high-growth companies and venture investors through every stage of their lifecycle, from formation to exit.

You’ll be part of a nationally integrated team working with a diverse client base across industries, gaining hands-on experience in sophisticated transactions while developing a strong commercial perspective.

What You’ll Do

• Advise emerging growth companies and venture capital investors on capital raises, including preferred equity financings, SAFEs, and convertible notes
• Lead and support mergers & acquisitions, strategic investments, and other complex corporate transactions
• Draft and negotiate transaction documents, manage deal processes, and drive closings
• Counsel clients on day-to-day corporate governance, including board matters and equity incentive planning
• Provide guidance on federal securities laws, compliance, and best practices
• Partner closely with founders, executives, and investors to deliver practical, business-oriented legal solutions

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a rare chance to build a practice at the intersection of venture capital and high-growth innovation. You’ll work directly with decision-makers, gain exposure to cutting-edge companies, and develop both your technical legal skills and your commercial instincts in a collaborative, high-performing environment.

What You Bring

• 4–7 years of experience in corporate law with a focus on emerging companies and venture capital
• Strong background in private financings, M&A, and corporate transactions
• Solid understanding of securities laws and regulatory frameworks
• Experience managing deals from inception through closing
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple complex matters in a fast-paced setting
• JD required and prior experience working in a law firm
• Admission to practice in California

Preferred Background

• Experience at a leading national or highly regarded boutique law firm
• Strong academic credentials

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary ranging from $285,000 to $370,000, depending on experience and location
• Performance-based bonus structure
• Comprehensive benefits package designed to support your professional and personal well-being

This role is ideal for a commercially minded attorney who thrives in a fast-moving environment and is looking to take ownership of meaningful client relationships while working on market-leading transactions.
