Corporate M&A Attorney Associate

You're on a corporate M&A team that does great work — but the moment a deal touches a hospital system, a payor, or a digital health platform, someone else gets pulled in to handle "the healthcare piece."

That someone else has a career. You have a workstream.

Healthcare M&A is one of the most active corners of the transactional market right now. Provider roll-ups, PE platform deals in physician practice management, payor-provider consolidation, digital health acquisitions, life sciences carve-outs. The deal volume is real and the regulatory complexity means the lawyers who can actually run these transactions are in short supply.

But you can't build that practice at a generalist M&A shop. You need a platform where healthcare regulatory and corporate sit at the same table — where the deal team understands Stark, anti-kickback, HIPAA, and state CON requirements as part of the transaction, not as a separate phone call.

A top-tier AmLaw firm with one of the most established healthcare transactional practices in the country is hiring a mid-level corporate associate to sit at exactly that intersection. This is a dedicated healthcare M&A seat — not a generalist M&A role that occasionally touches healthcare deals.

The work includes:

• M&A transactions across the healthcare sector — provider, payor, PPM, digital health, life sciences
• PE-backed platform acquisitions and add-ons in physician practice management and adjacent verticals
• Joint ventures, affiliations, and strategic partnerships among health systems, payors, and providers
• Cross-functional deal execution alongside one of the deepest healthcare regulatory benches in the market

What you bring:

• 3-4 years of M&A transactional experience at a major law firm
• Healthcare deal exposure preferred, but strong generalist M&A associates with genuine interest in the sector will be considered
• Strong drafting skills and the ability to manage workstreams independently
• Georgia bar (or eligibility to obtain)

What you get:

• A practice where healthcare M&A is the business, not a service line bolted onto a corporate group
• Direct deal management and client contact at your level — not three seniority jumps from now
• Cravath scale + bonus
