This firm serves entrepreneurs and small- to mid-sized businesses in sophisticated transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, fundraising, commercial contracts, and entity structuring. The practice operates on a project-based fee model rather than billable hours, allowing attorneys to focus on delivering exceptional legal work instead of tracking time.

• Communicate directly with clients, opposing counsel, lenders, accountants, and other transaction participants
• Work closely with the firm's partners on sophisticated corporate matters
• Help improve internal workflows, systems, and firm processes as the practice continues to grow

What We're Looking For

• 4–6+ years of experience practicing corporate or transactional law in a law firm or in-house legal department
• Strong drafting, negotiation, analytical, and issue-spotting skills
• Ability to independently manage sophisticated transactions with sound judgment
• Excellent client communication and relationship management skills
• Interest in helping build efficient legal workflows and utilizing modern technology, including AI-assisted drafting tools
• Desire to grow into a leadership role as the firm continues to expand

What You'll Find Here

• Competitive compensation and benefits
• No billable hour requirements
• No business development expectations
• Meaningful autonomy and direct client responsibility
• A modern, technology-forward practice
• The opportunity to help shape a growing firm while working on sophisticated, high-value transactions

Location

The firm is based in Louisville, Kentucky. An in-person presence is preferred, although flexibility may be available for the right candidate.

If you're looking for an opportunity to practice corporate law at a high level, work directly with clients, and focus on meaningful transactional work rather than billable hours, we'd love to hear from you.
