Business Paralegal | Atlanta, GA | Direct Hire

LHH Recruitment Solutions is supporting a highly regarded, Am Law-ranked law firm in its search for an experienced Business Paralegal to join a busy corporate and transactional practice group in Atlanta, GA. This is a full-time, direct-hire opportunity located in the Buckhead area.

This role is best suited for a tenured paralegal with recent experience at a U.S. law firm supporting corporate attorneys on sophisticated business, commercial, finance, governance, and transactional matters. Candidates should be proficient with billing time and supporting a fast-paced attorney group with a high level of accuracy, professionalism, and follow-through.

Please ensure your applicable corporate, transactional, governance, entity formation, finance/lending, securities, and M&A experience is clearly highlighted on your most updated resume before applying.

Key Details:

• Location: Atlanta, GA, Buckhead area
• Schedule: Onsite for the first 90 days of onboarding
• Hybrid: 1 work-from-home day per week after successful onboarding
• Billable requirement: 1,500 hours annually
• Employment type: Full-time, direct hire
• Compensation: $70,000 to $110,000, commensurate with experience
• Criminal background check and professional references required

Primary Responsibilities:

• Support corporate attorneys within a busy business and transactional practice group
• Assist with commercial transactions, corporate governance, entity formation, finance/lending transactions, securities matters, and mergers and acquisitions
• Draft, revise, review, and organize business and transactional documents
• Assist with entity formation, maintenance, annual filings, corporate records, minute books, ownership records, and related governance materials
• Support diligence efforts, data room management, closing checklists, signature pages, closing binders, and post-closing organization
• Coordinate filings with state, county, and regulatory agencies as needed
• Assist with lien searches, UCC-related matters, corporate records, and transaction support
• Communicate professionally with attorneys, clients, outside counsel, vendors, and filing agents
• Track deadlines, manage priorities, maintain organized files, and enter billable time accurately

Minimum Requirements:

• 5+ years of recent and tenured U.S. law firm experience as a corporate, business, or transactional paralegal
• Prior experience supporting corporate attorneys in a mid-sized to large U.S. law firm is required
• Am Law, large law firm, or sophisticated business law experience is strongly preferred

• Strong background in commercial transactions, corporate governance, entity formations, securities, finance/lending transactions, and M&A support
• Experience with closing binders, diligence, data rooms, corporate filings, and business entity maintenance
• Strong attention to detail, excellent written communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe/PDF tools, DocuSign, iManage, and large-scale document management systems
• ABA-Approved Paralegal Certificate or related degree preferred

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This is a strong opportunity for a polished and experienced corporate paralegal who enjoys supporting sophisticated business transactions within a collaborative, high-performing legal team. The role offers exposure to complex corporate matters, steady workflow, and the opportunity to support attorneys on meaningful transactional work across multiple business areas.
