Gallagher LLP is seeking an associate attorney to join our Corporate and Corporate Finance practice. Individual and corporate clients depend on us for counsel on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, debt and equity financing, private placements, securities compliance, executive and employee compensation, and general corporate and contract matters. This role offers the opportunity to work directly with clients across a wide range of industries, including venture capital, real estate private equity, health care, renewable energy finance, technology, manufacturing, and professional services.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience representing clients in the purchase and sale of businesses, including transactions structured as mergers and as stock and asset acquisitions. They will also have worked on joint ventures, shareholder agreements, private equity investments, investment fund formation, and succession planning. Securities experience is also important, including private placements, the preparation of disclosure documents and securities purchase and subscription agreements, and compliance with federal and state registration exemptions and other securities laws.

We do not expect to find someone with expertise in every area listed above, and we encourage candidates whose experience covers a meaningful portion of this work to apply.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school and admission to practice in Maryland (or eligibility for admission)
• 6+ years of experience in corporate, securities, and mergers and acquisitions work
• Strong working knowledge of private securities offerings and securities law compliance
• Excellent analytical, drafting, and negotiation skills
• Ability to collaborate with colleagues and build lasting client relationships

For over 65 years, Gallagher has been a trusted partner for businesses and non-profits across the mid-Atlantic region and nationwide, representing top universities, hospitals, financial institutions, real estate developers, and more. We recruit with the hope and expectation that our people will build their careers here: more than half of our attorneys joined the firm as law clerks or new lawyers, and most of our staff has been with us for more than a decade. That stability strengthens our culture and the quality and continuity of the service we provide to our clients.
