Apply in confidence →Join a leading emerging companies group—recognized for one of the deepest benches in early- and growth-stage company representation—serving sectors including AI, climate and clean technologies, fintech, and software. We seek a corporate associate with 3–6 years of relevant experience to take a leading role on venture financings, formations, M&A, and the full range of strategic transactions that define a company’s first decade.
You will run deals, manage client relationships, mentor junior associates, and develop the judgment that comes from advising founders and boards through inflection points—from seed stage through pre-IPO and beyond. Clients range from stealth-mode startups to the most prominent late-stage private companies in the Bay Area.
Prior emerging companies experience is not required; we welcome candidates with M&A or other transactional backgrounds. This is a collaborative team that invests heavily in associate development, both on substantive work and on the client relationships that will define your career.
- 3–6 years of relevant corporate or transactional experience
- Experience or strong interest in venture financings, formations, M&A, and strategic transactions
- Prior emerging companies experience not required; M&A or other transactional backgrounds welcome
- Superior academic credentials
- Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills
