​

Let’s be real — if you’re 4–6 years into BigLaw or boutique life and not working on deals that actually move markets, what are you doing?

One of the most respected AmLaw 100 firms is hiring for its public companies + capital markets team. This group is dialed into the pulse of tech and life sciences — advising 300+ public companies and leading on IPOs, follow-ons, PIPEs, and more.

The Role:
You’ll be trusted with high-impact work from day one:
  • Guide public companies on SEC reporting, disclosure, and governance

  • Advise on NYSE/Nasdaq compliance and day-to-day ops

  • Lead capital markets deals — IPOs, debt and equity offerings, ATM deals, PIPEs

  • Bonus points if you’ve worked with high-growth tech or biotech clients

You:

  • 4–6 years of experience in public company and capital markets matters

  • Solid handle on SEC rules and market dynamics

  • Want your work to matter — and not be buried under redlines for days

  • Looking for mentorship, real client access, and a team that plays at the top of its game

The Perks:

  • $310K–$390K base + merit bonuses

  • Bar dues, CLE, and review fees covered

  • Fertility and family planning benefits (yes, that includes IVF and surrogacy)

  • Mental health support, coaching for working parents, backup childcare, tutoring for kids

  • HSA with firm contributions, 401(k), and commuter perks

  • Pet insurance and ID theft protection? Covered.

This is a place where people actually like working with each other, and the clients are the ones you read about in TechCrunch and the WSJ.

Interested? Let’s talk — confidentially.
