Restructuring & Special Situations Finance Associate
AmLaw 100 Platform | Multiple U.S. Offices

Our AmLaw 100 client is hiring a restructuring and special situations finance associate to join its market-facing Business Restructuring and Reorganization practice. This is a creditor-side role with consistent exposure to top-of-capital-structure work and complex liability management transactions.

The team is active across Chapter 11 cases and out-of-court restructurings, advising sophisticated financial institutions on matters that shape outcomes rather than follow them.

The Role

• Represent hedge funds, CLOs, private credit platforms, and other institutional lenders
• Advise on DIP financings, exit financings, liability management transactions, and special situations investments
• Work on high-stakes restructurings and financings across industries and capital structures
• Collaborate across offices with senior lawyers who stay hands-on with their matters

This practice is busy, selective in staffing, and deeply integrated with the firm’s finance and bankruptcy platforms.

Candidate Profile

• Law school class years 2019 through 2023
• Meaningful experience in restructuring finance or special situations work
• Background representing creditors or borrowers in complex financings
• Comfortable taking ownership of work streams and client-facing responsibilities
• Strong drafting skills and sound judgment under time pressure

Prior experience with DIP or exit financings is especially relevant.

Why This Role

• National platform with real cross-office deal flow
• Consistent exposure to market-moving matters and sophisticated clients
• Clear runway for skill development in restructuring finance, not siloed bankruptcy work
• Compensation at the top of the market with full AmLaw benefits

The team is open to candidates based in Houston, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Denver, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, or New York. Office location does not limit the scope or quality of work.
