About this role
Ice Miller's Cleveland office is building out its corporate practice and looking for a mid-senior M&A attorney ready to take on substantial client advisory work. With four to eight years of experience, you'd lead or co-lead transactions spanning acquisitions, dispositions, and minority investments while drafting and negotiating deal documents alongside partners and senior counsel. The role demands someone who can manage multiple deals independently in a fast-paced environment, develop client relationships, and think strategically about complex deal structures.
The firm emphasizes a collegial, mentorship-driven culture with a genuine partnership track available. You'll have access to one-on-one career coaching and opportunities to grow your responsibilities over time, working across the firm's offices as needed. This is a mid-size firm environment rather than a large corporate powerhouse, which typically means closer relationships with clients and partners but also the expectation that you'll carry real deal responsibility early on.
The position requires an Ohio law license, strong academic credentials, and experience in both law firm and in-house settings. Compensation ranges from $187,000 to $245,000 depending on your background, with potential for discretionary and hours-based bonuses. This is an in-office role in Cleveland with no remote flexibility.
