The role supports advising on sophisticated corporate and transactional matters, including venture and growth financings, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, private equity, and capital markets.
The associate will represent both companies and investors in venture and growth equity transactions, draft and negotiate NVCA-based and bespoke financing documents, advise on governance and capitalization matters, and collaborate with M&A, IP, tax, and regulatory teams on complex venture-backed transactions.

If you’re looking to make a lateral move, I highly recommend you partner with Alan. Once you get on the phone with him you’ll understand why — he is incredibly knowledgeable about the practices at each firm, the notable players in the market, what to expect during the interviews, etc. It’s because he has placed associates at firms all across the AM Law 100. He is also constantly available and willing to help. I am very impressed by his performance and work ethic. Don’t hesitate—give him a call!
