Public Finance Associate – Prestigious Law Firm, Newport Beach, CA

A prestigious law firm in Newport Beach is seeking a Public Finance or Corporate Associate with 2–4 years of experience to join a nationally recognized and rapidly growing municipal/public finance practice. This is a high-visibility position designed for a motivated attorney ready to expand their career in a collaborative environment with some of the most respected legal minds in the field.

This role offers more than just interesting work—it offers purpose. The associate will be part of a team that helps shape California’s future by supporting transformative public infrastructure and economic development projects. It's an exceptional opportunity for a rising attorney to gain meaningful experience, professional recognition, and real momentum in their legal career.

• Community college and higher education institutions
• General fund lease revenue financing for cities, counties, and states
• Stadium and arena financing
• Land-secured financing (including assessment and Mello-Roos districts)
• 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporations

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Daily collaboration with attorneys nationally recognized for their work in public finance
• A practice that values initiative and rewards growth with clear paths to advancement
• High impact matters that directly benefit California communities
• Exceptional support, mentorship, and exposure in a collegial, intellectually rigorous setting
• Balance and quality of life in a beautiful coastal environment

Ideal Background:

• J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
• 2–4 years of experience in corporate, corporate finance, M&A, or public finance
• Strong academic credentials and superb analytical, writing, and communication skills
• Experience with municipal bond transactions, securities law, or public finance documentation is helpful but not required

This is not just a position—it’s a platform. For an attorney who wants to be seen, supported, and intellectually challenged while contributing to work that matters, this is the right place.

Let’s explore how this opportunity can redefine your career path.
