Job description

Law 100 client is building out its elite Restructuring & Special Situations team in New York and is looking for a sharp, business-minded associate ready to operate at the intersection of finance, strategy, and complex problem-solving.

Who you are

A 3rd or 4th year associate with at least 2 years of experience in financial restructuring Comfortable working in the high-pressure, fast-moving environment of complex finance Adept at managing multiple stakeholders and deal dynamics Looking for mentorship, career acceleration, and a place to stretch intellectually Why this team: Market-leading reputation in both debtor and creditor-side mandates Deep bench of former bankers, investment professionals, and restructuring veterans Close collaboration with top-tier PE, M&A, and finance teams Exposure to international deals and direct client interaction from day one If you're ready to join a top firm in this practice area where strategy and legal execution meet, let’s talk.
