Specialiyt and Structured Finance Mid/Senior Associate
About The Position
Our AmLaw 100 client is adding an associate to its New York structured and specialty finance practice. This is a well-established finance platform with consistent deal flow, sophisticated clients, and a reputation for handling complex secured transactions across asset classes. This role sits within a lean, high-functioning finance group that works across balance sheet financings, structured products, and capital markets style transactions. You will advise borrowers and lenders on secured financings, with regular exposure to complex collateral structures and tailored credit products. Matters include receivables financings, asset-based loans, structured financings, and transactions involving less traditional asset classes. The work is document-heavy, negotiation-driven, and substantive. This is a chance to deepen technical finance skills within a practice that values precision, judgment, and real responsibility. Associates in this group are trusted early, and exposed to complex transactions that translate well across top-tier finance practices. The platform supports long-term development for attorneys who want to stay in sophisticated finance work rather than rotate through it.
