Private Equity Associate | AmLaw Firm (Boston | New York | Philadelphia | San Francisco)

Position: Mid-Level Associate (Lateral)

Practice Area: Private Equity / Corporate Transactions

Experience Level: 3–6 years (Class of 2019–2022)

Overview:

An AmLaw firm is seeking a highly qualified Private Equity Associate / Counsel to join its Private Equity group , advising top-tier sponsors and portfolio companies on high-value transactions. This position offers the opportunity to work across industries—including technology, healthcare, life sciences, financial services, and consumer products —with exposure to both domestic and cross-border deals.

Responsibilities:

  • Represent private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies in M&A, leveraged buyouts, growth equity, and recapitalization transactions .
  • Draft and negotiate purchase agreements, merger agreements, investor rights, and equity documents .
  • Lead portions of deal execution, coordinate due diligence, and liaise directly with clients, counterparties, and internal practice groups.
  • Support emerging companies and investors in venture capital financings and exits .

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 3–6 years of experience in Private Equity, M&A, or Venture Capital transactions at a top law firm.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple deal components independently and thrive in a collaborative environment.
  • Strong business acumen and understanding of deal dynamics, valuation, and capital structures.
  • Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and communication skills .
  • Experience representing both sponsors and portfolio companies is highly valued.
  • Familiarity with growth equity and minority investments is a plus.
  • Relevant bar admission (or ability to obtain promptly) and deal sheet required .
  • Academic excellence from a top-tier law school.

Why This Role Stands Out:

This is one of the most active Private Equity groups in the country, advising sponsors managing billions in committed capital. The team provides associates with high visibility, partner interaction, and hands-on experience leading major transactions.
