The global law firm of K&L Gates seeks to hire a corporate associate to join their dynamic practice in Los Angeles.

The ideal candidate will have 5-7 years of experience doing mergers and acquisitions (both sell side and buy side) for private equity funds and strategics. The ideal candidate would have worked in New York or California at one of the top tier law firms for at least a few years. Experience with capital markets and public company filing work would be a plus.


We require outstanding academic credentials, excellent oral and written communication skills, a commitment to providing the highest quality client service, and a demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team. Our associates work closely with experienced lawyers who provide opportunities to assume increasing levels of responsibility and client contact, active mentoring and training in business development.


K&L Gates represents leading global corporations, growth and middle-market companies, capital markets participants and entrepreneurs in every major industry group as well as public sector entities, educational institutions, philanthropic organizations and individuals. Our practice is a robust full market practice — cutting edge, complex and dynamic, at once regional, national and international in scope.


At K&L Gates, we embrace our core values. We believe in hiring collaborative, committed, and diverse teams; using state-of-the-art technology; offering continuous professional development training; and promoting pro bono and diversity initiatives. Most importantly, we strive to cultivate an environment that celebrates talented legal professionals.
