Senior Capital Markets & Securities Associate Attorney

Location: California

Salary: $370K – $385K

Experience: 8+ Years

An elite national law firm is seeking an accomplished Senior Capital Markets & Securities Associate to join its expanding corporate practice. This is a high-impact role suited for an attorney with 8+ years of sophisticated transactional experience and the appetite to take a lead position supporting a broad portfolio of public company clients.

In this position, you will serve as a senior member of a well-respected Capital Markets & Securities and Corporate Governance team, trusted to guide clients through their most complex transactions while taking meaningful ownership of relationships, strategy, and execution.

What You’ll Do

• Advise public and private companies on a wide range of capital markets transactions, including IPOs, equity offerings, convertible debt financings, and acquisition-related financings.
• Counsel clients on Exchange Act reporting, securities compliance, disclosure matters, and corporate governance strategy.
• Lead the structuring and negotiation of public stock and debt offerings, tender offers, rights offerings, mergers and acquisitions, licensing deals, and other commercial arrangements.
• Run deals from end to end, overseeing strategic planning, delegation, workflow, and issue-spotting for junior and mid-level team members.
• Collaborate across offices and disciplines to resolve deal-specific challenges and deliver seamless client service.
• Build and deepen long-term relationships as outside counsel to a roster of established public companies.

What You Bring

• A minimum of eight years of experience in capital markets, securities, and corporate governance work.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex transactions and mentor junior attorneys.
• Exceptional drafting, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving skills.
• A collaborative mindset and the professionalism needed to operate within a national, team-oriented platform.
• Admission to practice in the state where you reside.
• JD required and prior experience working in a law firm is mandatory.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-caliber platform: Work within a nationally recognized corporate practice with deep resources and a strong market reputation.
• Leadership and autonomy: Step into a role where your judgment matters and your ability to drive deals is genuinely valued.
• Client-facing opportunity: Serve as trusted outside counsel to sophisticated public companies with direct ownership of relationships.
• Strategic growth environment: Join a firm actively investing in its capital markets and securities capabilities.
• Clear career trajectory: A defined pathway for advancement, including meaningful partnership visibility.
• Collaborative culture: A supportive environment that prizes teamwork, innovation, and attorney development.
• Competitive compensation: Highly attractive salary and bonus structure aligned with experience and performance.
