Finance Openings - top comp, Partner in 8 years, TOP work!
Only 8 years for partnership at arguably the best firm in Texas. When they hire you, they are hiring you to be a partner - not a rental. You are going to make top comp and perform work comparable to NYC work - but with much more responsibility on lean deal teams. I used to practice at the same firm as some of the leaders of this practice group; these are great people performing the top work. I have two openings: one for 2008-2010 grads and one for 2011-2012 grads. Syndicated finance experience is needed. Plenty of Energy work. Representing private equity funds as well as investment banks, commercial banks, financial sponsors, etc. in a variety of transactions: structured finance, leveraged finance, mezzanine lending, work outs, etc.

NYC comp with an 8 year partnership track. I have placed with this group previously.

M&A - get phenomenal experience while junior.
Why waste your time on due dilligence and being the 4th person on a deal? Get real experience now. I am seeking a 2012 or 2011 grad to get actual hands-on responsibility and work one-on-one with in-house counsel at clients such as the largest airline in the world and the Dallas Cowboys. You will take the reins on multi-million dollar deals while also working on billion dollar deals. This firm promotes you to partner in 7-8 years. I placed two people in this red-hot, growing Corporate section in the past year. I know the partners and can get the offer for you.

Marketing Coordinator for one of our favorite law firms: $50K+

We have placed many attorneys at this firm and they rave about the marketing department. If you fill this position, you will be a valued, respected difference-maker at a firm filled with nice attorneys.

A great example: one of our placements needed help with a trade show in Las Vegas. So the marketing team went to Vegas with him for the show, helped with the booth and the hospitality suite, and made the trip a huge success. When was the last time your job sent you to Vegas?

Comp: in the $50,000s, but maybe even more for someone with perfect experience!

Experience Level: at least 3 years of professional services marketing. Legal is preferred, but investment banking, etc. is also good. We need great experience making pitch notebooks. Also, experience managing client events and with brand management. Experience in graphics and specifically Adobe is also a plus. Key areas include: Advertising; Client Relations; Collateral/Promotional Material; Electronic/Printed Marketing; Event Planning; Media/Public Relations; Proposals and Presentations; Website.
