Associate - Private Equity

AI Fluency

Norm Ai prefers all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

As an Associate in our Private Equity group, you will work on high-impact deals while using AI agents to streamline the drafting, diligence, and execution process. You’ll collaborate closely with partners, clients, and technology teams to deliver efficient, precise, and data-driven legal services.
