Corporate & Securities Associate — Technology (Silicon Valley)

A Silicon Valley office has an immediate opening for a corporate associate with 3–5 years of experience to join its Corporate & Securities – Technology group.

The team advises entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and emerging growth companies across the full lifecycle — from company formation through financings, corporate governance, technology transactions, acquisitions, and public offerings. The practice is structured to scale with clients, operating as a specialty boutique for early-stage startups and expanding as those companies mature.

Candidates will work on all aspects of mergers and acquisitions involving public and private companies, including drafting and negotiating acquisition agreements and ancillary documents, supervising junior associates, and managing and closing transactions. Experience with emerging technology companies — corporate formation, seed and venture financings, general corporate work, and governance and compliance — is also expected.
