A leading global law firm seeks a non-client-facing resource attorney to support its highly ranked Capital Markets practice. This is a knowledge-management, business-development and practice-enablement role: the attorney will not work directly for clients and will not bill time.

The position focuses on keeping the practice at the leading edge of legal and regulatory developments across public and private capital-raising transactions, including IPOs, follow-on offerings, and SPAC/deSPAC work with technology and life sciences companies. The resource attorney will develop and maintain internal practice resources, forms and templates, and know-how archives, and will help author client alerts, white papers and external-facing tools.

The role also involves coordinating speaking engagements, webinars and training, supporting marketing and RFP/business-development efforts, and partnering with professional development, information services and practice innovation teams to assess and adopt technologies that drive efficiency. Strong emphasis is placed on collaboration with practitioners and a genuine enthusiasm for the evolving practice and regulatory environment.

  • Licensed attorney with at least 5 years of experience representing issuers and investment banks in capital markets transactions
  • Strong understanding of corporate governance and SEC reporting requirements
  • Mastery of capital markets substantive law, with appetite to keep learning
  • Familiarity with the technology and life sciences industries
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and drafting skills; confident presenter
  • Self-starter with strong organization, time-management and attention to detail
