Corporate M&A Associate (Mid–Senior Level)

Location: Boston, MA

Salary: $260K – $365K

Advert Code: MLFS194

A globally respected law firm is seeking a mid to senior-level Corporate M&A Associate to join its dynamic Boston-based team. This opportunity is ideal for an associate looking to take on a high level of responsibility in sophisticated transactional matters while benefiting from hands-on mentorship and a clear path to advancement.

You’ll work closely with seasoned dealmakers on complex M&A and financing transactions, gaining meaningful client exposure and the opportunity to play a central role in deal execution.

What You’ll Do

  • Draft, review, and negotiate key transaction documents, including merger agreements, stock and asset purchase agreements, and letters of intent
  • Lead and support M&A transactions from structuring through closing
  • Conduct and oversee due diligence processes
  • Advise clients on corporate governance, commercial agreements, and general corporate matters
  • Assist with debt and equity offerings and other sophisticated financing transactions
  • Collaborate directly with clients and internal teams to deliver strategic, business-focused advice

What They’re Looking For

  • 3–6 years of experience in Corporate M&A, with strong exposure to complex transactions
  • Proven ability to draft and negotiate core M&A documentation
  • Experience managing significant aspects of transactions, including closings and diligence
  • Familiarity with corporate finance matters, including debt and equity offerings
  • Strong academic credentials and exceptional communication skills
  • A self-starter with the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
  • Commitment to delivering high-quality client service in a fast-paced environment
  • J.D. required, along with prior experience working in a law firm

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Direct involvement in high-value, sophisticated M&A and financing transactions
  • Strong mentorship culture with opportunities for rapid professional development
  • Early and meaningful client interaction
  • Supportive, collaborative environment with a focus on long-term career growth
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package

This is an excellent opportunity for a driven associate ready to elevate their practice, expand their transactional experience, and take on a more prominent role within a top-tier corporate team.
