Corporate Associate Attorney, Emerging Companies & Transactions

Location: Seattle, WA

Salary: $310K – $390K

Experience: 4–6 Years

Corporate Associate, Emerging Companies & Transactions (4–6 Years)

Step into a role that places you at the center of innovation. This position offers the chance to work with cutting-edge technology and life sciences companies from their earliest stages through successful exits. If you’re energized by fast-moving environments, collaborative teamwork, and sophisticated transactional work, this opportunity delivers all of that, and more.

The Opportunity

Join a highly respected corporate practice where you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to emerging growth clients. You’ll guide founders, management teams, and investors through the full company lifecycle, often acting as outside general counsel. Expect to work on matters that shape the trajectory of high-potential companies, including:

• Venture capital and private equity financings
• Strategic M&A and capital markets transactions
• Corporate governance and day-to-day counseling
• Cross-functional advisory work with innovators in tech and life sciences

Your practice will be hands-on, client-facing, and intellectually stimulating, ideal for an associate who thrives on problem-solving and relationship-building.

What You’ll Bring

• 4–6 years of robust corporate attorney experience, ideally spanning VC, PE, M&A, or capital markets
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work directly with founders and executives
• JD from a top law school
• A proactive, creative, solutions-driven mindset
• A genuine interest in emerging technologies and scientific innovation
• Excellent academic credentials and polished professional judgment

A technical or science degree isn’t required, but curiosity and engagement with innovation absolutely are.

Why This Role Stands Out

• A dynamic, highly collaborative environment that values energy, creativity, and initiative
• Direct exposure to some of the most innovative companies and investors in the U.S.
• Meaningful responsibility, direct client contact, and opportunities to grow into a trusted counselor
• Competitive compensation: salary range $310,000–$390,000, plus discretionary bonuses
• Comprehensive benefits supporting wellness, family-building, financial planning, and ongoing professional development

Perks include wellness reimbursements, extensive healthcare coverage (including for partners and dependents), parental support programs, backup childcare, career coaching, retirement benefits, relocation support, and full coverage of CLE and bar-related expenses.
