Venture capital [h1.location_city]

Some firms treat capital markets work as a back-office function.

This is not one of them.

Our client is a nationally recognized firm with a strong corporate platform and a long track record advising public companies, private issuers, and investors on high-stakes transactions. Their Denver office is expanding its corporate practice and is seeking a Capital Markets / Securities Associate who wants meaningful responsibility, client exposure, and a seat at the table on sophisticated deals.

The Opportunity

This role offers hands-on involvement across the full lifecycle of capital markets and securities matters, including :

Public and private offerings, including IPOs and follow-on transactions

SEC reporting and compliance under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Corporate governance and disclosure matters

Exchange-related filings and ongoing reporting obligations

Supporting transactional teams on complex financing and growth initiatives

You won’t be siloed. Associates are trusted with real responsibility, work directly with senior attorneys, and are encouraged to develop judgment—not just technical skills.

The Ideal Background

3+ years of experience in securities law and capital markets within a law firm setting

Strong working knowledge of federal and state securities regulations

Experience with SEC filings and ongoing reporting obligations

Excellent writing skills and clear, confident communication

A growth-oriented mindset with the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment

Why This Role Stands Out

Sophisticated deal flow with high-quality clients

A collaborative culture that values initiative and ownership

Clear paths for professional growth within a respected corporate practice

Competitive compensation and performance-based bonus structure

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range : $235,000 – $290,000 (depending on experience)

Hours-based bonus eligibility

Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance

401(k) with matching and profit-sharing contributions

Generous paid time off
