M&A and Energy Transactional Associate

1 day ago

Houston, United States McGuireWoods Full time
Job Description:

McGuireWoods is seeking a candidate for an Associate position to support its Mergers & Acquisitions and Energy Transactional practice. The candidate may sit in our Houston, Baltimore, or Richmond office.


With more than 150 lawyers, McGuireWoods' M&A team represents buyers and sellers in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other major transactions throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim. Our lawyers have significant experience handling transformative and strategically significant deals of varying sizes for public and private companies in every sector of the economy.


Consistently recognized for our global M&A capabilities, McGuireWoods was named "Law Firm of the Year" in Mergers & Acquisitions magazine's Mid-Market M&A Awards for our deal work and for innovations that distinguish the firm as an industry leader. The volume of deals we handle each year has led Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg to consistently rank McGuireWoods among the top 10 M&A firms in the United States.


Our approach is straightforward. We listen from the outset to gain a thorough understanding of client objectives for the transaction. We then analyze the competitive and regulatory landscape within client-specific industries - factoring in the influence of current and emerging legislation, regulatory developments, and the M&A market as a whole. Armed with this information, we work with our clients to develop a strategy designed to meet specific business goals, while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.


The art behind stellar M&A representation is in the attorney's ability to leverage a diverse range of skills and knowledge to address every angle of a client's transaction. Our M&A attorneys regularly draw upon the services of the firm's tax and employee benefits, labor and employment, environmental, real estate, securities and antitrust lawyers, as dictated by a transaction, to ensure our clients have 360-degree deal coverage.


McGuireWoods, one of the world's leading law firms, has provided legal solutions to corporate, individual, and nonprofit clients since 1834. Diversity and inclusion are essential to how we do business, informing how we recruit, retain, and promote lawyers and staff to serve clients. Along with excellent benefits, McGuireWoods offers our attorneys a competitive salary with hours and merit bonus opportunities, billable hours credit for pro bono work, and a hybrid remote option allowing flexibility and work-life balance. Our Applicant Disclosures describe your rights. Our Privacy Statement describes how we will process and safeguard your personal data.

Job Requirements:
  • Qualified candidates will have 3 - 6 years of experience in corporate transactions, preferably in a sophisticated national law firm environment. Ideal candidates will also have experience in the energy industry, including power, renewable energy, oil and gas.
  • Familiarity with project finance, infrastructure development, construction contracts and/or tax equity transactions is helpful, but not required.
  • Candidates should possess strong interpersonal and oral communication skills and be able to interact with and advise legal and business teams from deal inception through closing.
  • Must have a strong academic record, excellent writing and drafting skills, including key transaction documents.
  • Texas bar is required.
  • Please be advised that this is a national search with a focus on the following markets: Houston, Baltimore, Richmond.
