Tech Transactions Associate 2026: Elite US Firm | Cravath Scale ($225k-$435k+)
Location: Major US Market (New York, San Francisco, DC) or London (US Pay Scale) Salary: Cravath Scale ($225,000 – $435,000+ Base depending on class year) Practice Area: Technology Transactions / IP Licensing / Commercial Experience Level: Mid-Level Associate (3–6 Years PQE)
For legal professionals operating at the intersection of innovation and complex deal-making, the current market offers no higher platform than this. An Elite US Law Firm—consistently ranked in the AmLaw Top 10 and recognized globally for its Technology and M&A practices—is seeking a high-caliber Tech Transactions Associate to join its dynamic team.
This is not a standard commercial contracts role. It is a strategic position within a "deal team" environment, handling the intellectual property and commercial architecture of billion-dollar mergers, high-stakes cross-border licensing, and joint ventures for the world’s leading tech giants.
With a compensation package strictly adhering to the Cravath Scale (starting at $225,000 for first-years and scaling rapidly to $435,000+ for senior associates, excluding substantial year-end bonuses), this position offers top-of-market financial rewards. It is designed for an attorney who refuses to choose between high-level M&A support and standalone commercial counseling, offering a sophisticated blend of both.
