Restructuring & Special Situations Mid/Senior Associate
About The Position
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. This practice is busy, selective in staffing, and deeply integrated with the firm’s finance and bankruptcy platforms.
