My client is one of the most active venture capital law practices on the planet.

This is an opportunity to join a growing practice to work alongside a group recognized as a market leader with deep connections throughout the VC and start-up communities. They have personally led hundreds of financings and billions of dollars in transactions.

The deals are real, the stakes are high, and the companies you'll work with are shaping industries.

What this takes:

This seat requires someone who is intellectually sharp, operationally reliable, and genuinely hungry to grow into an elite ECVC lawyer. You should be comfortable running deal workstreams, drafting and negotiating transaction documents, managing due diligence, and interfacing directly with founders, executives, and investors.
