- Drafting and negotiating transactional documents (purchase agreements, merger agreements, financing documents)
- Handling general corporate matters including entity formations, corporate structuring, and ongoing client advisory
- Working closely with partners in a lean team structure, gaining significant client-facing responsibility
- Supporting private equity sponsors and portfolio companies throughout their investment lifecycle
Key Requirements- 4-8 years of M&A/PE transactional experience (must be able to run a deal independently)
- Law firm experience required (understanding of billing, managing multiple client relationships)
- Licensed to practice law in Missouri or Illinois
- Based in St. Louis or Chicago
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously
