The Capital Markets Attorney (mid-level associate) supports a firm’s Capital Markets Practice Group by advising clients on complex securities and corporate transactions. This role involves representing issuers, investment banks, and institutional investors in a wide range of matters, including public and private offerings of securities such as common stock, warrants, convertible securities, and at-the-market (ATM) programs.

Candidates should have at least 3+ years of experience in corporate and securities law at a major law firm. A strong understanding of key regulations, including the Securities Act, Exchange Act, and stock exchange rules, is essential. The role requires excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills, along with the ability to manage multiple transactions in a fast-paced environment. A Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and admission to the New York State Bar are required.
