Bowery Legal is seeking a Senior Associate to join its corporate practice, focusing on emerging companies and venture capital matters. We combine big-firm experience with the focus and flexibility of a boutique, aiming for a more humane and exceptional way to practice law.

What You'll Do

Serve as outside general counsel to early-stage and growth companies: triage day-to-day legal questions, spot issues, and deliver practical, business-minded guidance.
Form and structure new entities (DE C-corps/LLCs, holding/operating companies), draft founder documents, and set up cap tables from day one.
Lead venture financings end-to-end (pre-seed to Series B+): draft and negotiate SAFEs, convertible notes, NVCA equity rounds, term sheets, stock purchase agreements, and ancillary closing deliverables.
Manage debt transactions for venture-backed companies: review term sheets, negotiate loan and security agreements, warrants, and coordinate perfection and filings.
Own closing execution: run diligence, build and track closing checklists, coordinate signatures, manage data rooms, and deliver clean, on-time closings.
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts (SaaS subscriptions, MSAs/SOWs, DPAs, NDAs, vendor and partnership agreements) with attention to data, IP, and risk allocation.
Advise on corporate governance and compliance: board and stockholder consents, charter/bylaw updates, equity plan administration, 409A, insider matters, and ongoing minute-book hygiene.
Proactively manage projects and client communications across time zones in a largely remote-first environment, balancing responsiveness with thoughtful, high-quality work.

What We're Looking For

Strong academic credentials including a J.D. from a top law school.
Membership in the New York state bar is required.
4+ years of experience with a top national law firm or in-house with a technology company.
Strong project management, communication, and analytical skills are a must.
Ability to work independently but remain connected in a remote work environment is critical if working remotely from other team members.
