M&A Partner | Fully Remote, US | c.$650,000 Total Compensation

Lead the practice. No portable book required.

High-quality technology deals, meaningful practice leadership and a more sustainable working life than traditional BigLaw, with substantial compensation.

A growing boutique serving venture-backed technology companies and their investors is hiring an M&A Partner to lead and develop its M&A practice. This is an opportunity for an accomplished technology M&A lawyer who wants greater autonomy, direct client relationships and the scope to shape a practice.

The opportunity

You will lead sell-side technology transactions from initial discussions through signing and closing, advising founders, investors and in-house counsel. The firm has an established ECVC practice and clients whose growth is creating demand for deeper M&A expertise.

You will take ownership of that work, develop the practice’s approach and mentor colleagues within a collaborative, technology-focused firm.

Why consider it?

• Approximately $650,000 annual total compensation in a salaried partner role.
• Fully remote across the United States.
• A more sustainable alternative to the traditional 2,000+ hour BigLaw environment.
• Existing client demand, with no portable book of business required.
• Substantive transactions, direct client access and genuine influence over how the practice develops.

The background sought

This is a specialist appointment for a lawyer with substantial experience at a leading technology-focused or nationally recognised M&A practice.

You must bring:

• 10+ years of corporate legal experience, including at least six years focused on M&A.
• A strong record of personally leading sell-side technology transactions of $50 million or more.
• The ability to run matters independently, including drafting and negotiating the principal transaction documents.
• Meaningful experience advising venture-backed companies, including financings and ongoing corporate matters.
• A collaborative approach, sound commercial judgment and the ability to develop other lawyers.
• Active membership of a US bar in good standing.

Experience at firms such as Cooley, Fenwick, Wilson Sonsini, Goodwin, Orrick or a comparable practice is required.
