NYC|DC|LA|San Fran|Silicon Valley|San Diego|Austin|Chicago

Our AmLaw 100 client is hiring a senior transactional tax associate for a national team that sits in the middle of headline deals. This is a true platform move: deep bench, real volume, and tax lawyers who are brought in early, not at the cleanup stage.

Role Summary

You will run point on transactional tax across:

  • Domestic and cross-border M&A
  • Partnership tax planning
  • Private equity fund formation work
  • Capital markets and financing transactions

This is a senior associate seat with real responsibility and direct deal exposure.

Candidate profile

  • Minimum 4 years of law firm experience focused on transactional tax
  • Comfort advising deal teams and business principals, not just drafting memos after the fact
  • Experience across M&A, partnership structures, and sponsor-side work is strongly preferred
  • Bar admission in at least one US jurisdiction

Why this role

  • Market position: A top-tier AmLaw platform with consistent national recognition across practice areas and lawyers.
  • Deal flow: A tax group built to support high-volume, high-value transactions across major business centers.
  • Bench strength: Large, globally integrated tax team, which matters when your deals do.
  • Support: Formal well-being and benefits infrastructure that is actually resourced.

Location

Multiple major US markets. The team is built to collaborate across offices, and the right candidate will have options.

Compensation

Top-of-market base with discretionary bonus, consistent with elite AmLaw compensation bands for class years.
