Senior Corporate and Transactional Counsel

This is a Full Time Job

DESCRIPTION:

This attorney will advise the Studio on corporate and commercial matters and transactions worldwide, including M&A, investments, joint ventures, and corporate governance.

In addition to at least four years of corporate transactional experience with a major law firm or a sophisticated in-house legal department, the successful candidate will be collaborative, solution-oriented, analytical, have excellent judgment, and be unafraid to give practical advice in light of risks. Most importantly, because the media and entertainment business continues to rapidly evolve and adopt new business models, we are looking for someone who is curious, willing to go outside their comfort zone, and eager to learn new areas of the law and business and take on new challenges.

The successful candidate will also be the primary attorney overseeing Sony Pictures' corporate entity governance rationalization process, advising on the integration and dissolution of subsidiaries worldwide and the inter-company transfer of IP and other assets. Valuable areas of expertise include M&A, complex commercial transactions, corporate governance, IP, and experience in developing and implementing business processes.

Requirements:

• Minimum of four years of experience in corporate law, mergers, and acquisitions.
• Excellent communication and drafting skills.
• Able to problem-solve in a professional, creative, and ethical manner.
• Able to work both independently and as a team player.
• Able to work on, and balance, multiple transactions at the same time.
• Assertive yet diplomatic, detail-oriented, and able to accommodate tight deadlines.
• California or New York Bar.
