About Us

Our firm is a two-attorney boutique firm focused on sophisticated middle-market corporate and M&A work with an emphasis on we work to live (not live to work). Despite our size, the complexity of our deals rivals what you'd see at a much larger firm — and we're looking for an experienced senior associate-level attorney to help us continue delivering BigLaw-caliber work to our clients on a flexible, contract basis.

The Opportunity

This is an ongoing 1099 engagement designed for an experienced M&A attorney who wants meaningful, sophisticated work without the demands of a full-time role. You'll work directly on live deals — drafting, negotiating, and advising — alongside the firm's principal with the assistance of a junior attorney. The work is collaborative, the deals are substantive, and the schedule is genuinely flexible.

What You'll Work On

• Sell-side M&A transactions, deal range typically $5M–$150M in deal value
• Private equity transactions (typically buy-side, and portfolio companies), deal range typically $5M–$150M
• General corporate and fractional general counsel matters supporting our M&A practice (entity structuring, governance, commercial agreements, routine labor/real estate/etc.)
• Drafting and negotiating purchase agreements, ancillary documents, disclosure schedules and other customary M&A agreements
• Diligence review and risk analysis
• Discernment when outside counsel support is necessary
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience at an AmLaw 100 firm, with a meaningful portion of your career spent in a sophisticated M&A practice
• Demonstrated ability to run deals independently — drafting, negotiating, and quarterbacking workstreams without micromanagement or close supervision
• Strong command of middle-market M&A documentation and customary deal points
• Active bar admission in any U.S. jurisdiction (state of admission is flexible)
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the judgment to know when to escalate and when to decide
• Reliable availability within the 5–25 hour/week range, with flexibility to flex up modestly during deal sprints
• Healthcare M&A experience a plus
  
  

What We Offer

• Fully remote — work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Genuine schedule flexibility — we understand that life (and parenting) doesn't always fit between 9 and 5, and we structure our engagements accordingly
• Sophisticated work without the BigLaw grind — substantive deals, smart counterparties, and a collaborative working relationship
• Long-term engagement — we're looking for an ongoing partnership, not project-by-project staffing
• Full tech stack — your workstation will include many of the same tools utilized by large firms, including document management, practice management and time software, redlining software, etc.
