M&A Associate Attorney

Miami has become the deal desk for Latin America — the sponsors and family offices that used to route their transactions through New York now sign them here, and a Spanish-speaking M&A associate who can run a cross-border deal is the scarcest profile in the market.

An AmLaw 50 firm with one of the largest Latin America practices in the US is hiring a cross-border M&A associate (3–7 years) in Miami. Cravath scale — $260K–$420K depending on class year.

You'd work directly with partners and clients on every phase of the deal — structuring, drafting, negotiating, and closing — on transactions that run between the US, Latin America, and other international markets, with local counsel and cross-practice teams to coordinate and sophisticated counterparties on the other side.

The work includes:

• Domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions for public and private companies, private equity sponsors, family offices, and strategic investors
• Joint ventures, minority investments, and strategic partnerships across the US and Latin America
• Purchase agreements, investment agreements, JV agreements, and governance documents
• Corporate governance, entity structuring, ownership and control, and post-closing integration in multi-jurisdiction contexts

What you bring:

• 3–7 years of M&A, private equity, or complex corporate transactional experience at a firm
• Reps drafting and negotiating purchase agreements and running diligence
• Fluency in Spanish
• Florida bar admission; US–Latin America cross-border experience a plus

What you get:

• A cross-border M&A platform at the center of the Latin America deal market, with a client mix that spans sponsors, strategics, and family offices
• A bilingual, multi-jurisdiction deal profile that's rare enough to hold its value in any market
• Cravath scale ($260K–$420K depending on class year), plus bonus eligibility
