Financial Restructuring Junior Associate

Direct Counsel has partnered with a premier, nationally recognized law firm in their search for a Financial Restructuring Junior associate. What is unique about this role is that it sits within the firm’s dynamic financial restructuring practice and, in addition to working on new loan originations and managing existing capital structures, you will have the opportunity to represent clients on a wide range of special situations, workout, and in and out of court restructuring transactions. Though the firm's largest clients are private credit and opportunistic debt funds, ad hoc lender groups, and investment and commercial banks, we regularly represent corporate borrowers and private equity sponsors, as well.

Requirements

• experience working on a broad array of complex debt financing transactions, including acquisition financing (especially for sponsor-backed companies in the middle market), term loan facilities and working capital facilities, as well as familiarity with commitment letters and sponsor grids, unitranche facilities, and intercreditor arrangements.
•  While experience with distressed credit would be a plus, a solid base in leveraged finance, combined with an intellectual curiosity in expanding your skill set beyond performing credit, is more important.
• 4, 5, or 6 years experience straight out of law school working as a finance associate
• Juris Doctorate degree from a nationally recognized law school
• strong analytical skills and attention to detail

Benefits

The salary wage range that we expect to pay for this position is a minimum of $225,000 and a maximum of $260,000 (annually). The actual pay wage may vary based on experience or other relevant factors.
