Chicago - M&A Clearance Team Associate Attorney

We are currently seeking junior attorneys with outstanding credentials and qualifications to join our Mergers & Acquisitions Clearance Team in Chicago or Washington, DC. Ideal candidates will have 1 year of Antitrust/Competition related M&A clearance experience. A background in regulatory/corporate M&A or experience working for private equity fund clients is a plus.

The Team supports busy and growing antitrust, corporate and private equity practices. This position is focused on regulatory antitrust matters, rather than antitrust litigation.
