Job Description
Position Title: Corporate Venture Capital Associate
A boutique-minded, globally connected practice is seeking a Corporate Venture Capital Associate to advise founders, venture capital funds, and high-growth companies at every stage of the corporate lifecycle. The practice concentrates on a defined set of disciplines and is recognized for depth in those areas. Associates take on substantive responsibility early, work directly alongside experienced partners, and have the opportunity to lead transactions while building their own client relationships.
The culture rewards enterprising, respectful, and tenacious professionals who take ownership of their careers and understand what the next step requires. Lawyers and business professionals are treated as equals, and the firm expects its attorneys to grow toward partnership, with partner consideration beginning after seven years of practice. The role is hybrid, with in-office attendance Tuesday through Thursday at a Midtown Manhattan location. Thank you for your time in reviewing this opportunity.
