This is a unique opportunity to join a market-leading, very collaborative and thought intensive practice to represent a broad variety of clients.

The ideal candidate will be able to work both with a group of creditors and with a private credit lender, originating both new transactions as well as managing existing capital structures. Candidates must have finance and/or secured bond deal experience, must have led multiple financing (or debt capital market HY) transactions from inception to close, must be able to manage mid-level and junior associates, think creatively and be collaborative.
