What This Firm Does

Attorneys here handle corporate structuring, M&A, compliance, and general business advisory work. The team combines legal strategy with a practical, business-minded approach.

• Strong research, drafting, and analytical skills
• Experience in M&A, tax structuring, or business law is a plus
• Bonus if you have a background in finance, accounting, or consulting
