Senior Associate Attorney – Public Company M&A

Location: South Florida (Fort Lauderdale)

An elite corporate transactions team is seeking a Senior Associate (6–8+ years) to join its Public Company Mergers & Acquisitions practice in South Florida. This is a high-impact opportunity for an experienced attorney who wants meaningful responsibility, direct client engagement, and exposure to complex, market-leading transactions.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in sophisticated deal environments, enjoys leading transactions from start to finish, and is motivated by working alongside top-tier lawyers on strategic matters for public companies across a wide range of industries.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead public company M&A transactions from inception through closing, including structuring, negotiation, and execution

  • Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, providing strategic legal and business guidance

  • Draft and negotiate principal transaction documents and manage high-stakes deal issues

  • Supervise and mentor junior associates and support staff

  • Coordinate with internal specialists on complex, multi-disciplinary matters

  • Oversee post-closing matters, including purchase price adjustments and integration issues

What We’re Looking For

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school

  • Admission to the Florida Bar (or ability to waive in)

  • 6–8+ years of substantive M&A experience at a law firm, with a strong focus on public company transactions

  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex deals

  • Strong leadership, communication, and client-management skills

  • Experience with cross-border or multi-jurisdictional transactions is a plus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Access to sophisticated public company work within a highly respected national platform

  • Direct client interaction and real leadership responsibility

  • Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that values initiative and excellence

  • Strong compensation and comprehensive benefits

  • The opportunity to build a long-term career in one of the fastest-growing legal markets in the U.S., while enjoying an exceptional South Florida lifestyle

Candidates must hold a JD and have prior experience working in a law firm.
