Job Description

An elite Am Law 50 firm is actively seeking a senior-level ECVC Partner to join its thriving Palo Alto office. This is a unique opportunity to integrate into a highly ranked national practice with deep roots in Silicon Valley’s startup and venture capital ecosystem.

The Ideal Candidate:

You are a seasoned ECVC partner with a strong footprint in the emerging companies and venture capital space. You’ve built trusted relationships with founders, fast-growth companies, and institutional investors, and you’re looking for a platform that can match your ambition and expand your reach. You bring a portable book of business in excess of $5 million , and you’re ready to leverage a top-tier brand, premier client base, and unmatched national resources.

What You’ll Do:

  • Serve as trusted counsel to startups and scale-ups throughout their lifecycle — from formation to exit.
  • Advise top-tier venture capital firms and strategic investors on financings and investments.
  • Lead and manage complex venture financings, M&A, and growth transactions.
  • Collaborate with a highly integrated national ECVC team and cross-practice experts.
  • Continue to grow your practice with the support of business development resources and a tech-forward legal platform.

What Makes This Opportunity Different:

  • Market-Leading ECVC Practice: Consistently recognized by Chambers, Legal 500, and PitchBook for startup and venture capital work.
  • Strategic Silicon Valley Presence: Deep local roots with strong institutional ties to the startup and investor communities in the Bay Area.
  • Collaborative Culture: Transparent, team-oriented environment that promotes cross-selling and client sharing.
  • Firmwide Commitment to Growth: Significant investment in lateral integration and long-term partner success.

Requirements:

  • JD from a top-tier law school; active membership in the California Bar (or eligibility to waive in).
  • At least 10 years of experience advising high-growth companies and/or venture capital funds.
  • A portable book of business valued at $5M or more is required.
  • Strong client service orientation, leadership skills, and a collaborative mindset.

Next Steps:

If you're looking for a strategic move and a platform built to support sophisticated ECVC work at scale, we’d welcome a confidential conversation. Contact us to learn more about this high-impact opportunity in Palo Alto.
