About The Position

Our AmLaw 100 client is hiring a mid -level associate into its Life Sciences corporate practice.

This is a broad company -side role for a lawyer who wants real reps across the life cycle of growth -stage and public life sciences companies. The position can sit in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, San Francisco, or Silicon Valley.

This is not a narrow seat. The practice touches financings, exits, public company work, and day -to -day counseling for serious life sciences clients, with room to build range instead of getting boxed into one product.

It is also a strong platform for associates who want better exposure to company -side strategy. You’ll be close to founders, boards, investors, and management teams, and you’ll work alongside lawyers who sit at the intersection of venture capital, capital markets, M&A, and healthcare.

For the right mid -level associate, this is a smart move: strong brand, sophisticated deal flow, and a practice built for lawyers who want to stay close to the life sciences market as it evolves.

Requirements

• 3 to 5 years of corporate and transactional experience at a comparable law firm
• Strong background in public company work, registered equity offerings, SEC representation, and M&A
• Life sciences experience is helpful, but not required if your interest in the sector is real
• Someone who can work well with a team but also own substantial parts of a transaction without hand -holding
