Job Description
Corporate M&A Associate (6–8 PQE) | Los Angeles | $250k–$300k | Hybrid + Partnership Track
Location: Los Angeles, California (Hybrid)
Salary: $250,000 – $300,000 (DOE)
Billables: 1,800 annually
A high-end boutique corporate law firm in Los Angeles is seeking a mid-level Corporate Associate (6–8 years) with strong M&A experience to join its growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney looking to transition from Big Law into a more entrepreneurial platform while continuing to work on sophisticated, high-value transactions.
The Role
You will work on a range of corporate and transactional matters, including:
• Mergers & acquisitions (core focus)
• Joint ventures and strategic transactions
• Corporate structuring and financings
• Cross-industry deals across sectors such as media, energy, and real estate
Associates are given early responsibility and the opportunity to take a more active role in deal execution and client interaction.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Salary between $250k – $300k depending on experience
• 1,800 billable hours (lower than traditional Big Law)
• Hybrid schedule (typically 1–2 days in office)
• Opportunity to first-chair transactions earlier in your career
• Entrepreneurial platform with ability to build your own book
• Origination bonus (15%) + dedicated business development budget
• Clear fast-track to partnership
Requirements
• 6–8+ years of strong M&A experience
• Background in Big Law (preferred)
• Strong academic credentials
• Excellent drafting and deal management skills
• Licensed to practice law in California
Preferred Background
• Experience across broader corporate transactions beyond M&A
• Interest in business development and client origination
• Desire to work in a boutique, high-autonomy environment
This is a standout opportunity for a corporate attorney looking to maintain high-level deal work while gaining autonomy, client exposure, and a clear path to partnership.
If you would like to learn more, feel free to apply or reach out directly for a confidential conversation.
