Job description

We are looking for a Corporate Securities Attorney with 8-12 years of experience to join our growing Corporate department. This is a key role designed for a senior attorney to whom our Practice Group Leader can delegate significant securities work for a major client.


What will you be doing?

  • Advising public companies and underwriters on equity and debt offerings under the Securities Act of 1933.

  • Handling the full IPO process, follow-on offerings, and Rule 144A private placements.

  • Managing SEC disclosure obligations, including drafting and reviewing 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, and proxy statements.

  • Advising on NYSE/Nasdaq listing requirements and ongoing corporate governance.

  • Working independently on substantial workstreams for the practice group's key clients.

Key Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience as a practicing attorney.

  • Substantial, demonstrable experience with offerings under the Securities Act of 1933 and reporting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

  • Deep expertise in SEC disclosure obligations, stock exchange listing rules, and public company reporting.

  • Florida Bar admission, or eligibility for admission.

  • Experience at a major law firm is strongly preferred.

  • Real partnership track with 1:1 leverage ratio - You'd be eligible for partnership consideration in just 3 years at the firm (8+ years JD minimum). Way better odds than NY BigLaw.

  • Growth role with immediate senior responsibility - Practice group leader has a major client with substantial securities work and needs someone to delegate IPOs and follow-ons to right away.

  • Florida tax advantage closes comp gap - Base is ~$10K below NY scale but zero state income tax adds $25K-$40K take-home annually. Plus firm pays relocation and bar costs.

  • Fast-moving process with responsive leadership - Practice group leader will move quickly through interviews and is described as "willing to be annoying to the managing partner" to get this hire done.

  • Sophisticated work without BigLaw grind - Handle complex public company offerings and SEC reporting with the resources of a larger platform but intimate firm feel.
