Capital Markets Associate

Boston, Massachusetts, United States Lateral Link Full time $365,000 - $1,000,000 per year

You're five years into capital markets and you're still reviewing 10-Ks for typos. You draft comfort letter checklists. You've never actually spoken to an issuer's CFO or negotiated with underwriters' counsel.

You should be running IPOs from kickoff to pricing, negotiating underwriting agreements, and advising Fortune 500 treasurers on debt offerings—not stuck in the SEC comment response factory cranking out disclosure edits.

You're ready to be a trusted capital markets advisor, not just another body on the closing checklist.

A top tier AmLaw firm is strategically expanding its nationally recognized Corporate Finance and Capital Markets practice
—a 100+ lawyer global platform that structures innovative financing transactions for clients across asset management, life sciences, and other major industries.

This isn't about filling a grunt role. This is about adding sophisticated capital markets lawyers who can independently run key aspects of transactions from day one.

What You'll Actually Do:

  • Run key aspects of transactions independently
    —from due diligence through closing, not just support roles
  • Represent issuers, underwriters, and placement agents in public offerings and private placements
  • Draft and negotiate underwriting agreements, purchase agreements, and offering documents (not just review them)
  • Handle 1933 Act and 1934 Act compliance and reporting matters with real ownership
  • Work on IPOs, debt financings, sovereign bond offerings, and private credit fund raises
  • Advise business development companies (BDCs) and 1940 Act funds on complex regulatory matters
  • Collaborate with colleagues across U.S., European, and Asian offices on cross-border transactions
  • Build direct relationships with issuers, investment banks, and institutional investors
  • Work on market-leading deals that Bloomberg, Legal 500, and IFLR regularly cover

What You Bring:

  • 5+ years of capital markets experience at a sophisticated law firm
  • Proven experience representing issuers, underwriters, and/or placement agents
    in securities offerings
  • Strong knowledge of 1933 Act and 1934 Act compliance and reporting requirements
  • Experience running key aspects of deals (not just supporting them)
  • Excellent drafting and negotiation skills
  • BDC and 1940 Act fund experience is a significant plus
  • Strong academic credentials
  • Large law firm background preferred

What You Get:

  • Elite Compensation:
    Cravath scale, $365K+ based on class year and experience
  • Sophisticated Platform:
    100+ capital markets lawyers across global offices
  • Market Leading Work:
    IPOs, sovereign offerings, private credit fund formations, life sciences financings
  • Real Responsibility:
    Run transactions, don't just support them
  • Global Collaboration:
    Work seamlessly across U.S., European, and Asian offices
  • Industry Recognition:
    Regular coverage in Bloomberg, Legal 500, and IFLR for groundbreaking transactions

The Catch:

This role requires lawyers who can take ownership of complex transactions immediately. You need to be comfortable independently managing due diligence, coordinating with multiple parties, and interfacing with senior clients and investment bankers. If you need extensive supervision or aren't ready to be a key deal team member, this isn't the right fit.

But if you're ready to actually practice capital markets law at the highest level—working on the deals that define markets—this is your opportunity.
