Love deal work but tired of being one of twelve associates on the closing checklist? This corporate team runs real transactions with lean deal teams, so you'll carry more of the deal, sooner.
Hi, I'm Paul Pankratz. I'm helping a growing Denver corporate group add M&A associates. Their partners trained at national and international firms and have worked deals up to and over $1B, and they bring that polish to middle-market work, without the big-firm grind.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Buy-side and sell-side work for private equity, venture-backed and strategic clients
- Lean deal teams: real drafting and negotiating, direct client contact
- Mentorship from partners with deep national-firm deal experience
- A reasonable 1,700-hour billable target plus bonus
What You'll Do
- Draft and negotiate purchase agreements and ancillary documents
- Lead due diligence and structuring workstreams
- Handle add-on acquisitions, exits and post-closing issues (earnouts, indemnification)
- Support general corporate and financing matters
What You Bring
- 2+ years of M&A or corporate transactional experience
- Strong drafting and attention to detail
- Colorado bar admission, or eligibility to obtain it
What the Firm Offers
- Competitive salary plus bonus
- Full benefits
- Room to grow with an expanding practice
