A leading AmLaw 100 firm is hiring in Washington, DC for a deal associate who wants a true split of core M&A and energy-sector transactions. The group stays busy, and sits in the middle of the firm’s platform.

• Buy-side and sell-side M&A, divestitures, and joint ventures
  

• Energy transactional matters, including renewables, oil and gas, project development, and energy-related commercial contracts
  

• Deals staffed with tax, benefits, labor, environmental, real estate, securities, and antitrust as needed, so you learn how the whole machine works, not just one lane
  

CANDIDATE PROFILE

• 3–4 years of law firm experience in M&A and/or energy transactions (national-platform experience preferred)
  

• Exposure to renewables, oil and gas, project development, or energy commercial contracts is a plus
  

• Strong drafting and issue-spotting, comfortable working directly with deal teams and clients
  

• Active DC Bar required or waive-in.

• The firm is consistently ranked for M&A deal activity in major league tables and is recognized for mid-market M&A strength.
  

• Credible energy platform with recognition in Projects: Power and Renewables (Transactional), which matters if you want energy work that is actually transactional and not just adjacent.
  

• Clear economics: $260,000–$310,000 base range for this seat (plus bonus structure per firm policy).
