As an Associate, you will engage in high-impact IP and tech-focused deals, including standalone technology transactions and the IP/tech aspects of M&A, Private Equity, and ECVC transactions. Your role will involve leveraging cutting-edge AI agents to streamline drafting, diligence, and execution processes, collaborating closely with partners, clients, and technology teams to transform legal service delivery.
