Public Finance Attorney

Newport Beach, CA

A top-tier, multi-office firm is expanding its Public Finance practice in San Francisco and is seeking a sharp, motivated associate with 0–3 years of transactional experience.

Prior public finance experience is welcome but not required. What matters most is intellectual rigor, strong drafting skills, and the ability to thrive in a sophisticated, fast-moving transactional environment.

The Practice

The Public Finance Group advises state and local governments and underwriting banks on public infrastructure financings throughout the western United States. This is meaningful, high-impact work — funding schools, transportation systems, utilities, and essential public projects. Associates gain early exposure to complex transactions that shape communities.

This is not a backroom drafting role. Associates work directly with experienced partners and clients on financings that demand precision, sound judgment, and strong execution.

The Platform

Our client has grown to 120 attorneys across 12 offices. The firm offers a dynamic blend of transactional strength and litigation depth, with practice areas spanning corporate transactions, securities, complex business litigation, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and venture capital.

.

The Development Advantage

Associates receive structured mentoring from day one, designed to build practical skills that translate into long-term success. Training includes focused instruction in transactional negotiations, mock depositions, and practice-area-specific programming. Business development fundamentals begin in the first year, with group training and quarterly one-on-one coaching sessions led by experienced professionals.

Partnership is real. Associates are generally first eligible for shareholder consideration seven years after law school graduation, though there is no minimum time requirement — advancement is performance-driven.

Who Will Thrive in the Public Finance Attorney position

• 0–3 years of transactional experience

• Strong academic credentials

• Excellent analytical and drafting skills

• Interest in public finance and complex deal work

This is an opportunity as a Public Finance Attorney to build a serious transactional career within a respected, growing platform — handling sophisticated public finance matters while developing the business skills that sustain long-term success.

For Public Finance Attorney candidates ready to move beyond theory and into real-world impact, this is the place to do it.
