M&A Attorney

Support M&A deals and commercial agreements at a growing US law firm. 3+ years of corporate law experience required.

$3,500-4,500/month | Full-time | Available until 3pm ET

Weinstein + Klein is a New Jersey law firm founded seven years ago that has grown quickly ever since. We have around 12 attorneys and a small support team, and we’re open to working with talented remote professionals who bring the right mix of skill and curiosity. We're focused on improving how we work and building a team that values efficiency, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to client service.

We handle transactional work for clients who need clear guidance through M&A deals and commercial agreements. The work is varied, the clients are engaged, and the team is supportive. If you're looking for a place where your expertise matters and where you'll have room to develop your practice without unnecessary bureaucracy, you'll likely enjoy what we're building here.

Role Overview

We’re looking for an M&A Attorney to join our small, close-knit corporate team. Your time will be split roughly 50/50 between M&A and commercial work. On the M&A side, you’ll support our corporate attorneys on buy-side and sell-side transactions. On the commercial side, you’ll review, draft, and negotiate operating agreements, partnership agreements, MSAs, NDAs, vendor and IP agreements, and handle quick “is this OK to sign?” reviews clients send in. When the team is tied up on a big deal, you may be the one keeping incoming contracts moving. As you build trust, you’ll work directly with clients and own more of that process. You’ll work closely with our partners, attorneys, and paralegal on Microsoft Teams throughout the day.

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you need:

• ✅ At least 3 years of corporate and/or commercial law experience (experience in other areas of law won’t be the right fit)
• ✅ Hands-on M&A experience on buy-side and/or sell-side transactions, including reviewing purchase agreements
• ✅ Strong drafting and review skills across a range of commercial agreements (operating and partnership agreements, MSAs, NDAs, vendor agreements, IP agreements, etc.)
• ✅ Clear, confident written English. Most communication is written, with occasional client calls
• ✅ Availability during US Eastern Time business hours until at least 3pm ET

The ideal candidate brings more than technical skill. Anyone can work through a task list; we’re looking for someone who comes back with “what about this?” and spots what others might have missed. You’re responsive, you communicate clearly with colleagues and clients, you ask good questions when something isn’t clear, and you take ownership without needing constant oversight. You’re comfortable using AI tools to stress-test your analysis, but nothing goes to a client without your own careful review: human first, human last. Your interpersonal skills matter here - clients appreciate someone who explains things plainly, and the team values someone who contributes to a genuinely collaborative atmosphere.
