Senior Business Attorney

A law firm with a deeply established reputation in niche business sectors across the U.S. is seeking a Senior Business Attorney to join its nationally active and strategically agile team. This role is ideal for a well-rounded legal professional—either a senior associate or partner—who thrives in a flexible, boutique-style environment while working on sophisticated business matters across multiple states. The firm is particularly suited for someone seeking impactful work, long-term client relationships, and the ability to mentor rising attorneys—all without the constraints of traditional BigLaw structures.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Serve as lead counsel for clients in a variety of complex commercial and regulatory matters, including corporate governance, employment issues, advertising, contract formation and disputes, telemarketing compliance, tax issues, and M&A support.

• Provide ongoing advisory services to long-term business clients, assisting them in structuring operations and minimizing legal exposure across multiple risk categories.

• Collaborate with internal teams and clients on preemptive strategies to avoid litigation and government scrutiny.

• Represent clients during audits and regulatory investigations at the state and federal levels.

• Review, draft, and negotiate business-critical contracts and documentation with a keen eye for risk management and business impact.

• Participate in industry-facing events, educational panels, and strategic conferences to further the firm’s national visibility and thought leadership.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to counsel clients directly and present at professional events.

• Proven ability to manage time and workload independently in a results-oriented, remote-friendly culture.

• Experience in highly regulated consumer industries is beneficial; familiarity with sectors like home improvement, franchising, or consumer services is a plus, but not mandatory.

• A collaborative and grounded personality with the flexibility to handle fast-moving client needs and an appreciation for creative legal thinking.

Education & Licensing Requirements:

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited U.S. law school.

• Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
