Capital Markets Associate | 3-7 Years | Los Angeles, CA | $260,000-$420,000 Base & Benefits & Bonuses | AM Law 25 International Law Firm
Watts & Associates is working discreetly with a highly regarded Am Law 25 international law firm seeking a 3-7 year Capital Markets Associate to join its Los Angeles office.
This opportunity offers sophisticated issuer- and underwriter-side capital markets work for innovative technology, consumer and life sciences businesses. The successful attorney will handle public offerings, SEC and exchange reporting, corporate governance and day-to-day public-company counselling within a nationally recognised capital markets platform.
Company Highlights
• Am Law 25 international platform with a distinctive focus on innovative companies, investors and financial institutions.
• Top-tier Legal 500 US recognition for capital markets equity offerings on the issuer side, alongside broad rankings across debt, global offerings and corporate governance.
• Capital markets practice has handled more than 1,000 public offerings since 2016 and maintains a balanced issuer- and bank-side practice.
• More than 280 public companies rely on the platform as principal corporate governance and securities counsel.
• Recognised as a leading adviser on U.S. issuer-side and venture-backed IPOs, with particular strength in technology and life sciences.
• Practice benefits from former SEC officials and experienced public-company advisers who bring regulatory perspective to transaction execution.
• Meaningful and ongoing mentoring is an expected contribution of experienced lawyers, supported by dedicated professional-development resources and pro bono skill-building opportunities.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is an opportunity to join a premier capital markets and public-company practice offering:
• IPO, follow-on, equity and equity-linked offering experience for sophisticated issuers and underwriters.
• Substantive public-company governance, SEC reporting and exchange-compliance work.
• Exposure to technology, consumer/retail and life sciences companies at important financing stages.
• Meaningful client-relationship responsibility and ownership of day-to-day workstreams.
• Insight into both issuer and investment-bank priorities across public securities transactions.
• Strong mentoring and development within a platform recognised for capital markets excellence.
The Role
The successful attorney will support and lead key components of capital markets and public-company matters, including:
• Represent companies and/or underwriters in public securities offerings, including IPOs.
• Support other equity and equity-linked capital markets transactions.
• Advise public companies on corporate governance matters.
• Counsel clients on SEC and exchange reporting and compliance requirements.
• Manage client relationships and the day-to-day workflow of sophisticated public-company clients.
• Coordinate transaction processes with internal specialists, investment banks and other advisers.
The role offers a balanced mix of transaction execution and ongoing public-company counselling with increasing client responsibility.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The firm is seeking a Capital Markets Associate with:
• Three to seven years of capital markets and public securities experience.
• Experience representing companies and/or underwriters in public securities offerings, including IPOs and other equity or equity-linked transactions.
• Experience advising public companies on corporate governance, SEC reporting and exchange compliance.
• Experience managing sophisticated client relationships and day-to-day workflow.
• High academic achievement from a nationally recognised law school.
• Experience in the capital markets department of a national or international law firm.
• Active California Bar admission.
Experience involving technology, consumer/retail or life sciences issuers is particularly well aligned with the practice.
Compensation and Benefits
The anticipated base salary range for this position is $260,000-$420,000, depending on geographic location, applicable experience and skillset.
Verified benefits include medical, dental and vision coverage; HSA and FSA options; life and disability coverage; backup care and parental-support benefits; and paid vacation, sick time and firm holidays.
