Careers at AEGIS Law
Corporate Associate Attorney
We’re hiring a corporate associate for our Arvada office. You’ll work directly with experienced attorneys on the deals and documents that move businesses forward. Client contact starts early. So does responsibility. This is a place to build a real practice, not to sit at the bottom of a pyramid.
What you’ll do
- Form and structure businesses, and draft operating agreements, bylaws and shareholder agreements
- Work on mergers, acquisitions and sales of businesses, from letter of intent through due diligence, purchase agreements and closing
- Draft and negotiate commercial contracts, including supply, services, licensing and employment agreements
- Prepare private offering documents and help companies raise capital
- Advise owners on governance, ownership changes and day-to-day legal questions
- Own matters from the first call to closing, with senior attorneys alongside you
What we’re looking for
- 3 or more years of direct corporate or transactional experience
- M&A experience is a plus
- Licensed to practice in Colorado
- Strong drafting skills and sound judgment
- Clear, confident communication with clients
- Someone who wants ownership of their work and their career
How pay works
This isn’t a traditional associate setup.
There’s no lockstep salary and no compensation committee. You earn a fixed share of the work you do, and the formula is the same for every attorney at the firm.
Because pay is based on collections, there’s a ramp of about two to three months when you start. A draw against future earnings may be available to bridge it. We’ll walk you through the numbers in detail before you make any decision. Many of our associates have built strong, growing practices this way.
Benefits
- Health insurance, with the firm paying up to $400 a month toward premiums
- Dental and vision insurance, fully paid for you
- 401(k)
- $50 a month cell phone reimbursement
- CLE and bar dues reimbursement
What you won’t do
- No equity buy-in or capital contribution
- No committees or management duties
- No billing, collections or office administration
A professional team handles billing, collections, technology, marketing support and administration, so you can focus on clients and the work.
