Job Description

Mid-Level Finance Associate (4-5 Years)

Are you a highly skilled attorney looking for a new and exciting opportunity at one of the world's most prestigious law firms? Our client, an AmLaw 100 firm with a stellar reputation in finance law, is seeking a mid-level associate with 4-5 years of experience to join their industry-leading Finance Practice Group in New York.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out :

  • Top-tier Clients : You will represent high-profile private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, and financial institutions on sophisticated leveraged finance transactions.
  • Cutting-edge Legal Work : This position will allow you to handle complex debt financing transactions, including drafting and reviewing credit agreements, bond indentures, term sheets, and intercreditor agreements.
  • Career Growth : Join a firm that values development, providing its associates with exceptional resources and the opportunity to work on high-impact deals alongside seasoned partners.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Structuring and executing complex leveraged finance transactions.
  • Providing legal guidance to private equity clients and financial institutions.
  • Drafting and negotiating critical financing documents, including security agreements, guarantees, and high-yield bond documentation.
  • Advising clients post-transaction to ensure compliance and mitigate risk per evolving industry standards.
  • Qualifications :

  • 4-5 years of proven experience at a large law firm specializing in leveraged finance.
  • Strong academic credentials and a J.D. from a top-tier law school.
  • Admission to the New York Bar and good standing.
  • A keen attention to detail and superior analytical skills.
  • Experience in working in a global team environment is preferred.
  • Compensation :

    In line with New York's Pay Transparency Law, compensation for this role is highly competitive and commensurate with experience. 4 to 5 year associates earn $310,000 - $365,000 plus discretionary bonus.

    Join a firm that offers unparalleled legal challenges and fosters a collaborative and dynamic work environment. Take the next step in your career and be part of a team setting new finance law standards.
