Corporate Lawyer

Transactional Attorney | North Jersey | Hybrid

I’m working with a well-established law firm in North Jersey that is looking to add a corporate/transactional attorney to its team.

• Associate or Counsel level depending on your experience

This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants to be more than the person behind the documents.

You’ll have meaningful involvement in matters from start to finish, work directly with clients and partners, and gain exposure to a broad range of business transactions.

The work includes:

• M&A transactions, including due diligence, drafting, negotiation and closing
• Business formation, restructuring and entity matters
• Commercial agreements and contract negotiations
• Equity, investment and partnership matters
• Corporate governance
• Ongoing outside general counsel work for business owners and entrepreneurs

And then there's the culture. This is not the typical law firm environment.

• The lawyers and staff genuinely like working together. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, attorneys support one another, and the atmosphere is collaborative rather than competitive.
• There’s also an emphasis on actually enjoying the people you work with —team lunches, happy hours and time together outside of simply getting the work done.
• The firm is flexible and understands that good lawyers need both challenging work and a life outside of work.

Why this opportunity stands out:

• Direct client exposure and meaningful responsibility
• Sophisticated transactional work
• Close collaboration with experienced attorneys
• A genuinely supportive, low-ego team
• Strong opportunity for professional growth
• A culture where people actually like and care about one another

Ideal background:

• 2–7+ years of corporate/transactional experience, including M&A and commercial contract drafting/negotiation.
• NJ Bar admission required; NY admission is a plus.

If you're a transactional attorney who is ready for more substance, more client interaction, more ownership—and a law firm where the people actually enjoy working together , this could be worth a conversation.

• $150K–$190K compensation , based on experience
