    Description

    Overview

    Whistler Partners is partnering with a market-leading technology law firm seeking a 3–6 year corporate associate to join its Crypto/Blockchain practice. This group advises cutting-edge crypto and web3 companies on high-profile transactional matters at the forefront of digital asset innovation.

    While San Francisco is the preferred office, strong candidates in New York or Los Angeles will also be considered.

    This is a premier opportunity for a transactional lawyer who wants to build deep crypto-native experience within an elite tech platform.

    Why this role?

    This practice sits at the center of the venture and digital asset ecosystem. Associates work directly with crypto founders, token issuers, and web3 companies on venture financings, token issuances, and complex digital asset transactions.

    Unlike regulatory-only roles, this seat focuses on true transactional execution—structuring token rights, managing primary and secondary token sales, and advising on offshore structures tied to digital asset offerings. It's ideal for lawyers who want to combine traditional EC/VC skillsets with deep blockchain exposure.

    The client base spans seed-stage startups through public companies across fintech, AI, digital media, and emerging technologies.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Advise crypto and web3 companies on venture capital financings, including token rights and token warrants.
    • Structure and execute crypto token, digital asset, and NFT issuances.
    • Support primary and secondary sales of crypto tokens and related digital assets.
    • Assist with offshore structuring related to token and digital asset offerings.
    • Provide general corporate counseling, including governance, compensation, and employment matters.
    • Collaborate with broader deal teams advising technology and growth companies at all stages.

    Top Requirements

    • 3–6 years of transactional corporate experience (regulatory-only profiles not a fit).
    • Demonstrated experience advising crypto, blockchain, or web3 companies.
    • Strong background in venture financings and general corporate matters.
    • Working understanding of blockchain technology and crypto markets required.
    • Familiarity with securities law and regulatory considerations around digital assets is a plus.
    • Prior large law firm experience strongly preferred.

    Compensation

    • $260,000 – $390,000 base salary, based on year classification.
    • Discretionary merit bonuses.
    • Comprehensive benefits package, including parental benefits, wellness stipends, 401(k), CLE coverage, and extensive family-building support.

    TL;DR

    Elite tech law firm hiring a 3–6 year crypto transactional associate for venture financings, token issuances, and digital asset deals. High-end platform, cutting-edge clients, and top-of-market compensation.
