Studio Leonelli is growing, and we are looking for an experienced M&A attorney who knows how to run a deal.

• Draft and negotiate purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, ancillary agreements, and closing documents.
• Negotiate directly with opposing counsel and coordinate with clients and advisors.
• Own transaction checklists, deadlines, closing mechanics, and next steps.
• Communicate clearly, concisely, and proactively with clients and the Studio Leonelli team.

Please apply only if you meet all of the following requirements:

• 5+ years of substantive M&A experience, including leading transactions autonomously or as the lead attorney.
• 40+ completed M&A transactions.
• Experience with transactions ranging from approximately $1M to $30M+.
