Any corp associates looking to move from biglaw to a boutique? My firm remains busy and is looking to bring on a couple associates. We’re all either hybrid or fully remote, and that’s here to stay. 1500 billables and we’re serious about it. Work is primarily ECVC, Outside GC, M&A. Pay is roughly 30% biglaw haircut, with incentive bonuses for hours and originations.

What’s the firm name?

Is it possible for an associate to do only m&a? I’ve done ecvc work but hate it but regularly do exits for ecvc clients/strategics for them as well.

Good question. We generally try to staff our team on clients rather than specific matters. And attorneys staffed to each client handle most or all matters for that client, including gen corp, financings and m&a. That said, much like all corp firms, we’ve had a boom in m&a work over the past few years, which has allowed for more of the type of practice/specialization you’re envisioning. Some of us remain generalists but others have gravitated more to a specific practice (including a few who do mostly m&a). Long story short: I think you’d be able to principally focus on m&a, and maybe just help out in a pinch on other matters. Happy to connect if helpful.
