Associate - Financial Restructuring/Special Circumstances

Associate – Finance: Restructuring & Special Situations | New York

Our AmLaw 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.

This is not your standard bankruptcy role. This is high-stakes restructuring and special situations at the institutional level — advising hedge funds, global financial institutions, sponsors, and Fortune 500s on billion-dollar turnarounds, distressed M&A, and multijurisdictional workouts. The group handles everything from out-of-court restructurings to major Chapter 11 cases, all with a sophisticated, cross-border lens.

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
