Corporate & Securities Counsel (Public Company Advisors Team)

We are seeking an experienced Counsel or Senior Counsel to join our Corporate & Securities Practice Group as part of a firmwide Public Company Advisors Team. This collaborative, multi-office role focuses on representing large Nasdaq- and NYSE-listed public company clients across a variety of industries, with meaningful exposure to complex securities, corporate governance, capital markets, and regulatory matters.

This is an off-track position designed for an attorney who enjoys sophisticated public company client work but is not seeking a traditional partnership-track role. The role features a reduced billable-hour requirement and no expectations for business development, client origination, or firm management responsibilities, allowing you to focus on providing high-quality legal counsel, client service, and thought leadership in a fast-paced environment.

We are particularly interested in candidates located in New York, Boston, or the Washington, DC metropolitan area; however, the role may be based in any of our offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Houston, Nashville, Atlanta, or Baltimore.

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of corporate & securities experience, preferably gained at a large regional or national law firm, in-house legal department, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or a combination thereof. Prior SEC experience is a significant plus.
• Substantial experience advising public companies on Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 matters, including: securities offerings and capital markets transactions; periodic reporting on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K; proxy statements and annual shareholder meeting matters; Section 16 reporting and beneficial ownership compliance; corporate governance and board advisory matters.
• Excellent academic credentials, strong analytical abilities, and outstanding written and oral communication skills.
• Licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction in which you are located, or eligible to become licensed as soon as possible.
