Direct Counsel is seeking a junior to mid-level Technology Transactions Associate Attorney to join a nationally recognized, full-service Am Law 100 firm with a top-tier global practice. The firm’s Technology Transactions team advises on complex commercial and strategic technology agreements for a wide range of clients—from startup companies to large multinational corporations—spanning industries such as healthcare, financial services, logistics, e-commerce, entertainment, and energy.

This is an exciting opportunity for attorneys with 2–5 years of experience looking to build a sophisticated practice at the intersection of technology, intellectual property, data privacy, and commercial law. Position Type: Associate (JD Class Years: 2019–2022)

About the Role:

Attorneys in this group work closely with business, legal, and technical stakeholders to structure, draft, and negotiate a wide variety of cutting-edge technology and IP-driven transactions. Associates will be expected to take on meaningful responsibility early on, working on high-value deals and client matters involving:

  • Information technology and business process outsourcing (IT/BPO)

  • Software licensing and SaaS agreements

  • Cloud services, APIs, and data processing agreements

  • ERP implementation and integration projects

  • Strategic alliances and joint ventures

  • Support for corporate transactions, including M&A, IP due diligence, and licensing

  • Product counseling, commercialization, e-commerce, and marketing/advertising agreements

Experience working with venture-backed companies or venture capital investors, as well as familiarity with AI, quantum computing, and emerging technologies, is a plus.

Ideal Candidate Profile:
  • 2–5 years of experience at a major law firm handling complex commercial or technology transactions

  • Alternatively, experience in M&A, IP licensing, or corporate finance with an interest in transitioning to tech transactions

  • Strong drafting, analytical, and negotiation skills

  • Demonstrated knowledge of data privacy, intellectual property, and technology-related legal issues

  • Proactive, client-service mindset with attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple workstreams

  • Admission to practice law in a U.S. jurisdiction where the firm maintains an office

  • Preferred bar admissions include Georgia, Illinois, Texas, or Massachusetts

Location & Hybrid Work Policy:

Candidates must reside and be barred in a U.S. jurisdiction where the firm has an office. While the firm supports flexibility, attorneys are expected to work in-office at least three days per week to promote collaboration and team development.

Compensation:
  • Expected salary range:

    • Junior Associate: $235,000–$260,000

    • Mid-Level Associate: $260,000–$365,000

  • Salary will be commensurate with experience, office location, and qualifications

  • Bonus eligibility and full benefits package included

Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply directly through Direct Counsel or reach out for a confidential conversation.
