Leveraged Finance Attorney

About the Opportunity

This is an outstanding chance to join a nationally ranked Global Finance group at a leading Am Law 50 firm recognized as a market leader in financial services and private capital.

This opportunity sits within a top-tier leveraged finance platform known for its sophisticated cross-border deal work, deep capital markets insight, and exposure across the full spectrum of credit providers.

About My Client

My client is a global, innovation-driven firm that has earned sustained recognition from Chambers USA. Their finance group is known for representing a wide array of market participants - from borrowers and lenders to private equity sponsors and financial advisors. This multidimensional exposure helps round out their Associates skillsets.

The Role

The firm is seeking Associates with 2-6 years of leveraged finance experience to join their Global Finance practice. This role focuses on leveraged finance transactions spanning domestic and cross-border acquisitions, recapitalizations, restructurings, and reorganizations. You will work as a key member of lean deal teams, gaining early responsibility running substantial aspects of transactions - from due diligence through to closing - while working with both traditional and alternative market lenders.

Responsibilities

• Involvement in leading key portions of deal execution, including due diligence, drafting, negotiation, and closing
• Engage extensively with middle-market and upper-middle-market transactions
• Work directly with alternative financiers, including business development companies, hedge funds, and non-bank lenders
• Receive meaningful ownership of workstreams due to the firm's lean staffing model

Qualifications

• 2-6 years' experience in leveraged finance
• Substantive experience representing borrowers, lenders, private equity sponsors, and/or agents in complex financing transactions
• Exposure to middle-market lending and alternative capital providers (BDCs, hedge funds, non-bank lenders) would be ideal but is not essential
• Demonstrated ability to run key aspects of transactions from diligence through closing
• Strong drafting, negotiation, analytical, and communication skills
• A commercial mindset and enthusiasm for a fast-paced deal environment

Why This Role Stands Out

• Elite rankings and market reputation
• Exposure across the entire capital structure
• High-impact, early responsibility
• Access to alternative credit markets
• Exceptional training and business education
• Cravath pay + above market bonus opportunities
