Corporate Finance Associate Attorney
Corporate Finance Associate Attorney — Kansas City
An established, nationally focused law practice is seeking a talented Corporate Finance Associate Attorney with 3–5 years of sophisticated transactional experience to join its expanding team in Kansas City. This is an opportunity to step into a high-performing group that advises on complex, high-value corporate matters for discerning clients across diverse industries.
About the Role
You will take a meaningful role in leading and executing major transactions, working closely with senior attorneys and deal teams on engagements that are dynamic, fast-paced, and strategically significant. The position offers immediate exposure to substantial responsibility, client interaction, and the ability to help drive transactions forward from day one.
Key Responsibilities
-
Manage, lead, or significantly contribute to mergers and acquisitions, private equity and leveraged buyout transactions, and capital markets matters.
-
Support corporate governance initiatives and advise on private offerings of equity and debt securities (preferred but not required).
-
Contribute to venture capital investments and securities compliance work, including reviewing or preparing Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and proxy statements.
-
Work collaboratively with colleagues across teams to support sophisticated national clients and ensure exceptional work product throughout each phase of the deal cycle.
What You’ll Bring
-
Active Missouri bar license.
-
3–5 years of relevant corporate transactional experience.
-
Strong academic achievements and demonstrated excellence in drafting, analysis, communication, and project management.
-
A proactive mindset, the ability to work seamlessly in team-oriented environments, and a commitment to high-quality client service.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
You’ll join a collegial, forward-moving practice that values strategic thinking, strong judgment, and an appetite for growth. The environment is supportive yet demanding in the best way—offering access to sophisticated work, mentorship, and genuine pathways for professional development. Compensation and benefits are highly competitive, and the team culture prioritizes collaboration, respect, and long-term career investment.
