Our AmLaw 100 client, a top-tier powerhouse in financial services and fintech transactions, is looking for a mid-level associate who’s not here to play it safe.

This is where you come to make deals, not memos.
Join a team that's shaping the future of money. You'll be at the table for high-stakes partnerships with global banks, disruptor fintechs, and major payment processors. Think BaaS, co-brand cards, BIN sponsorships, and everything pushing the edge of finance.

What You’ll Work On:

  • Strategic deals in the payments and lending space (credit, deposits, prepaid, and beyond)

  • High-impact commercial agreements for next-gen financial products

  • Complex structures that require real brains and real grit

What You’ll Get:

  • A seat in one of the most respected, battle-tested financial services teams in BigLaw

  • A career trajectory with clarity, and a firm that invests in your rise

  • Elite comp: $260K–$390K base, killer bonus potential, and top-shelf benefits

  • Hybrid flexibility, paid bar dues, and wellness perks that actually make a difference

  • The freedom to operate like an owner, not just another cog

What You Bring:

  • 3–6 years of experience owning key pieces of complex transactions

  • A sharp legal mind, killer drafting skills, and comfort with client contact

  • A real interest in fintech, payments, or financial services (bonus if you've touched any of it)

  • Bar membership in NY or DC (or the ability to waive in)

This isn’t your average associate role. It's for attorneys who want the front lines, not the sidelines.
