The listing
About Bowery Legal:
At Bowery Legal, we combine big-firm Corporate and M&A experience with the focus and flexibility of a boutique practice. Our attorneys have trained at some of the most respected law firms in the world, including Latham & Watkins, Gunderson Dettmer, Skadden, Mayer Brown, Greenberg Traurig, and Baker McKenzie. We are highly-capable, Big Law-trained attorneys who have all decided that there must be a better (and more humane) way to practice law while still being exceptional in our craft. For attorneys out there that feel the same way, Bowery Legal is an oasis in the desert.
About the Role:
We’re hiring an Associate, with a proven background and interest in M&A, to lead and close buy-side and sell-side deals across various industries, plus handle the corporate work that surrounds many of our company and investment fund clients (venture financings, reorganizations, commercial agreements, cap tables, and governance). If you love translating legal complexity into business leverage, this role is for you. As part of a general corporate boutique, this position will also be involved in the other areas of our practice, including company formations, financings, commercial drafting and negotiation, and general outside-GC support.
What You’ll Do:
Own transactions end-to-end: Draft/negotiate deal related documents such as LOIs, purchase agreements (stock/asset), merger agreements, disclosure schedules, ancillaries, earn-outs, rollover equity, TSA, and joinders.
Drive diligence and closings: Scope diligence, coordinate workstreams, manage timelines, clear issues, and run clean closings.
Be the practical voice in the room: Advise clients on structure, risk, and trade-offs—grounded in deal reality and growth goals.
Support the full company lifecycle: Venture rounds (SAFEs/convertibles/Series docs), restructurings, equity plan updates, commercial contracts (SaaS/MSA/DPA), and governance.
Lead with ownership: Supervise junior attorneys/paralegals, standardize templates/playbooks, and improve how we deliver world-class service.
Grow relationships: Serve as outside “in-house” counsel for recurring clients; help with thought leadership and BD when it aligns with your interests.
Required Experience:
Background: J.D. from an accredited law school; admitted and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (NY admission or eligibility preferred).
Experience: 4+ years at a top Big Law firm (AmLaw or equivalent) with 3+ years focused on M&A for private companies (tech/VC environment a plus).
Expert drafting in SPAs/APAs/merger agreements, reps & warranties, indemnities, baskets/caps, earn-outs, RWI, and post-close covenants.
Exposure to, and the ability to navigate, a wide range of deal structures preferred.
Strong project management across cross-functional teams; clear, concise client comms.
Style: Business-first, founder-friendly, bias to action, crisp judgment, low-ego collaborator.
Exposure to tax, IP, privacy, employment, or regulatory issues common in tech deals preferred.
Comfort with cap table tools and data rooms; RWI experience preferred.
