Lateral Link Remote Jobs in Usa

You are one of the most technically specialized associates at your firm, and almost nobody outside your group understands what you do.

Every major M&A deal that closes needs you. Every PE sponsor that rolls management equity needs you. Every public company proxy statement that goes out the door needs you. You structure the incentive plans, draft the 280G analyses, negotiate the employment agreements, and make sure the golden parachute disclosures don't blow up the merger agreement. Without your work, deals don't close.

But here's what happens: the M&A partner gets the client credit, the tax partner gets the relationship, and you get a redline of a management equity term sheet at 11pm on a Friday with a Monday deadline. You're indispensable to every transaction but invisible in all of them. Your practice touches M&A, securities, tax, and corporate governance simultaneously — and yet your firm treats exec comp as a service line, not a practice. You don't have your own clients. You don't have your own matters. You have other people's deals that need your sign-off.

That's not a career trajectory. That's a permanent support role with a specialty tax label.

An AmLaw 50 firm is building out its executive compensation and employee benefits practice in New York. They don't treat this as a back-office function that gets staffed onto other people's deals. They want associates who will develop direct relationships with compensation committees, PE sponsors, and management teams — not just parachute in for the benefits workstream and disappear.

The work includes:

• Structuring executive compensation arrangements in M&A and PE transactions — management equity plans, rollover equity, carried interest, incentive compensation
• Advising public company boards and compensation committees on proxy disclosure, say-on-pay, and Section 16 compliance
• Designing and implementing equity incentive plans, deferred compensation arrangements, and change-in-control protections
• Counseling on ERISA, tax-qualified retirement plans, and health and welfare benefit programs

What you bring:

• 2+ years of experience in executive compensation and employee benefits at a major law firm
• Exposure to comp and benefits issues in the context of M&A transactions, particularly PE-backed deals
• Familiarity with Sections 409A, 280G, 162(m), and related tax code provisions
• New York bar admission (or eligibility)

What you get:

• A practice that treats exec comp as the business, not a support function
• Direct client relationships with compensation committees and PE sponsors, not just redlines from the deal team
• Cravath scale ($260K-$390K depending on class year)

• Draft/negotiate SPAs, merger and rollover docs, equity and incentive plans, and key ancillaries

What you'll bring:

• IL bar license or eligibility to waive in/sit for next exam

Why this platform:

You moved to Denver for the mountains. You stayed for the deal flow.

Except the deal flow isn't yours. The transactions originate in New York or Chicago, and by the time the work reaches your desk it's already been scoped, staffed, and strategized by someone in another time zone. Your job is to turn the docs, manage the data room, and be available at 11pm ET — which is 9pm your time, but no one on the deal team seems to remember that.

You didn't relocate to Colorado to be a satellite office associate.

Denver has its own PE sponsors, its own energy and infrastructure transactions, its own middle-market M&A ecosystem. You should be working on deals that originate here — negotiating acquisition agreements, advising sponsors directly, and closing transactions where you're the lead associate, not the third one cc'd on the email chain.

An AmLaw 100 firm with a growing Denver corporate practice is adding a mid- to senior-level M&A associate. This isn't coastal overflow. The Denver office runs its own deals across PE-backed acquisitions, energy and infrastructure transactions, and capital markets work.

The work includes:

• Drafting and negotiating SPAs, APAs, and LLC/LP agreements for sponsor-backed transactions
• Private equity buyouts, carve-outs, and portfolio company matters
• Transactional energy and infrastructure deals driven by Colorado's market
• Capital markets and related corporate work

What you bring:

• 3-7 years of M&A and/or private equity transactional experience at a large regional, national, or international firm
• Proficiency drafting acquisition agreements — not just reviewing them
• Colorado bar or ability to waive in

What you get:

• A Denver office that originates its own deal flow — not one that processes work from headquarters
• Direct client contact and transaction management at your level
• Cravath-scale compensation ($260K-$365K depending on class year)

A nationally recognized AmLaw 200 firm is looking to grow their debt finance team in NYC. This opportunity may be of interest if you’ve been considering your long-term trajectory within BigLaw.

The firm is seeking a strong senior associate or counsel (6+ years' experience) from a larger platform who is interested not just in executing sophisticated transactions, but in building a sustainable practice over time. This is a firm that combines national deal flow with a more entrepreneurial structure, particularly appealing to attorneys who want a meaningful runway toward partnership. For the right senior associate or counsel, it is very possible they would bring you in directly as a partner.

You must have strong experience representing both lenders and borrowers in sophisticated debt financing transactions: credit agreements, commitment letters, issues lists, security documents, term sheets, intercreditor agreements, legal opinions, etc.

This opportunity offers:

• A clear, realistic (if not immediate) path to partnership
• Institutional support in developing and expanding a book of business, including cross-practice collaboration
• More flexible billing rates than many AmLaw firms, making it easier to originate and retain middle-market and growth-stage clients
• Sophisticated transactional work across industries, with strong internal corporate, tax, and regulatory support
• A culture that values initiative and business development earlier than most large firms

This could be especially compelling for someone who enjoys high-level deal work but wants greater flexibility in shaping their client base and long-term practice.

Note that the stated base comp range is $305,000-$325,000, but it could be higher.

You picked structured finance because the work is intellectually complex and the deal volume never stops. You were right about both of those things. But somewhere around year three, you realized the complexity you're touching has a ceiling.

You're deep in the docs — reviewing offering materials, turning PSAs, marking up intercreditor agreements — but you're not structuring the deals. The partners negotiate the economics with the underwriters and the rating agencies, and by the time the term sheet hits your desk, every material decision has already been made. You're executing someone else's structure on repeat.

The problem isn't that you lack the skills. It's that your current platform treats structured finance associates as document production. The partners who built the practice learned by sitting in the room when the deal was being designed. You're learning by redlining the output.

A firm with one of the deepest and most recognized structured finance practices in the country is adding to its New York team. This group does CLOs, ABS, CMBS, warehouse and repo facilities, fund finance, and structured lending — the full product stack, not just one silo. They want associates who can work across asset classes and who want to understand how deals are built, not just how they're papered.

The work includes:

• Structuring and documenting CLOs, ABS, and CMBS transactions
• Warehouse and repurchase facilities for originators and aggregators
• Fund finance and NAV-based lending structures
• Asset-backed lending and structured credit products
• Direct client interaction with banks, asset managers, and institutional lenders

What you bring:

• 2-6 years of experience in securitization, structured finance, CLOs, ABS, syndicated lending, or asset-backed lending at a major law firm
• Strong drafting skills and comfort with complex capital markets documentation
• New York bar admission

What you get:

• A practice built around structured finance — not a side desk inside a generalist corporate group
• Exposure across the full product stack instead of one narrow asset class
• Cravath scale ($235K-$420K depending on class year) plus discretionary bonus

ABOUT AMERICAN YACHT CLUB

The American Yacht Club (AYC), founded 140 years ago by Jay Gould and his peers, has grown from a haven for steam yachts into a premier sailing institution on Long Island Sound. Established at Milton Point in Rye, NY, in 1883, the club purchased its iconic property for $6,000. Despite a devastating fire in 1951, the clubhouse was rebuilt within a year, symbolizing the resilience of its members.

AYC has a storied history of sailing excellence, with members achieving success in America’s Cup defenses, Olympic medals, and various championships. The annual Invitational Cruise blends competition with family fun, highlighting the club’s vibrant culture.

With over 100 keelboats, 50 dry-sailed boats, and 150 small boats, AYC hosts near-weekly sailing events. It fosters a lifelong love for sailing, offering opportunities for recreational and competitive enthusiasts alike, and solidifying its reputation as a cornerstone of the sailing community.

CLUB MISSION STATEMENT
