Job Description

Remote ECVC & Technology M&A Attorneys

Four Openings | Mid-Level through Senior/Partner-Level

A nationally recognized, technology-focused corporate law boutique is expanding its Emerging Companies & Venture Capital and M&A practices. The firm is hiring four attorneys:

• Senior ECVC Associate: approximately 8–15 years of experience
• Mid-Level ECVC Associate: approximately 3–6 years
• Senior M&A Associate or Partner-Level Attorney: approximately 9–15 years
• Mid-Level M&A Associate: approximately 6–8 years

These are fully remote, US-based positions offering sophisticated transactional work, direct client responsibility and competitive compensation within a substantially lower-hour model than traditional BigLaw.

ECVC Practice

The ECVC attorneys will primarily represent venture-backed technology companies rather than institutional investors. The work includes:

• Advising emerging and growth-stage companies throughout their lifecycle
• Managing venture financings from initial term sheet through closing
• Drafting and negotiating SAFEs, convertible notes and priced-round documents
• Handling Series A through late-stage financings
• Preparing cap tables, pro formas, board materials and corporate approvals
• Advising founders, executives and in-house legal teams on governance and day-to-day corporate matters
• Supporting equity plans, commercial agreements and strategic transactions
• Developing direct, long-term relationships with founders and company clients

Senior candidates should be capable of independently leading financing transactions, managing client relationships and supervising more junior attorneys. A benchmark of approximately 15 venture transactions annually is preferred.

M&A Practice

The M&A attorneys will focus primarily on strategic technology transactions, particularly the representation of sellers in acquisitions by strategic buyers. This is not a PE-only M&A practice.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading or supporting strategic buy-side and sell-side transactions
• Running day-to-day transaction processes, diligence and closings
• Drafting and negotiating merger agreements, stock and asset purchase agreements, LOIs and ancillary documents
• Coordinating specialists, opposing counsel and internal deal teams
• Advising founders, executives and boards throughout a transaction
• Handling cross-border matters when relevant
• Assisting with general corporate work when transaction volume permits

Senior candidates should be able to run or co-run transactions, including sell-side technology deals valued at $50 million or more. The senior hire may be considered for a partner-level title and economics. No portable book of business is required.

Qualifications

• Active membership in at least one US state bar
• Relevant transactional experience at a respected corporate law firm
• Strong drafting, negotiation and project-management skills
• Ability to work directly with founders, executives, GCs and boards
• Comfortable independently managing matters in a remote environment
• Strong responsiveness, judgment and attention to detail
• For ECVC: meaningful company-side venture financing experience
• For M&A: meaningful strategic technology transaction experience

Candidates whose experience is primarily investor-side ECVC or PE-only M&A may not align with the current needs.

The firm is unable to provide employment visa sponsorship.

Compensation and Work Model

• Fully remote within the United States
• Expected annual billable range of approximately 1,200–1,350 hours
• Expected total compensation of approximately $280,000–$420,000, depending on experience, role and production
• Additional production-based compensation for hours above the applicable threshold
• Partnership-track and matter-management economics for qualified senior attorneys
• Firm-funded profit sharing and cash-balance retirement plan
• Unlimited PTO
• Home-office support

The billable-hour target is not a hard cap, and the firm has substantial client demand. However, attorneys receive meaningful economic participation for additional production rather than absorbing uncompensated hours.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to continue handling sophisticated ECVC or strategic technology M&A work without the traditional BigLaw office requirement or billable-hour expectation. Attorneys receive direct partner access, greater matter ownership, earlier client responsibility and a realistic path toward partner-level responsibility and economics.

The firm represents several hundred venture-backed companies and has an established national corporate practice. These openings are driven by active client demand, and qualified candidates who can begin in the near term are strongly preferred.
