Transactional Associate for Top Financial Services/Fintech Practice (Multi-City) (Unpublished)
Rare opportunity to join a dynamic and highly-regarded financial services practice group. This global AmLaw firm has a cross-office and interdisciplinary approach to serving its major financial institution (bank and non-bank), fintech, tech-enabled, and emerging tech clients. The ideal attorney for this role will have at least four years of post-JD transactional experience (which can be a combination of law firm and in-house experience). Move away from a template-driven practice and instead think through novel legal issues and provide a tailored approach to the drafting and negotiation of every transaction.
This is an exclusive and unpublished search through Garrison & Sisson. Some of the details for this position as shared directly from the practice group heads include:
