Associate Attorney – Leveraged Finance (New York)

The Opportunity

You will work closely with deal teams advising private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, and financial institutions on a broad range of leveraged finance transactions. The practice regularly handles sophisticated financings including acquisition financings, recapitalizations, and refinancings across a variety of industries.

Key Responsibilities

• Advise clients on leveraged finance transactions and acquisition financings
• Assist with asset-based lending facilities and term loan structures
• Work on senior secured and mezzanine debt financings across complex capital structures
• Support dividend recapitalizations, refinancings, and restructuring transactions
• Draft and negotiate key documentation including credit agreements, commitment papers, and related financing instruments
• Manage transaction components including signings, closings, and coordination of deal workstreams
• Collaborate with sponsors, lenders, and internal deal teams on complex financing matters

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 4–5 years of experience in leveraged finance, debt finance, or sponsor finance within a sophisticated law firm environment
• JD required and prior experience working in a law firm
• Experience representing private equity sponsors, corporate borrowers, lenders, or financial institutions
• Strong background drafting and negotiating credit agreements and debt commitment documentation
• Exposure to middle-market sponsor-backed transactions or private credit financings is advantageous
• Excellent drafting, analytical, and communication skills
• Active New York Bar membership

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to work on high-profile leveraged finance transactions across a global platform
• Exposure to sponsor-backed financings and complex capital structures
• Lean deal teams offering significant responsibility and client exposure
• A collaborative environment supporting professional development and long-term career progression
