Corporate Finance Associate (3–5 years) | Private Credit Leveraged Finance
Multiple offices (NYC, Dallas, Houston, LA, Boston, Chicago)

Our AmLaw 100 client is adding a midlevel associate to a debt finance platform that sits in the middle of private credit, sponsor finance, and special situations work. The practice is Chambers-ranked in Private Credit nationwide and is consistently active across lender-side and sponsor-side mandates.

Role Summary
• Direct lending and private credit financings (including acquisition financings)
• Leveraged buyouts and other sponsor-backed transactions across the capital stack
• Growth capital, stressed and distressed financings, and liability management-style work when the market turns
• Exposure to both financing and restructuring dynamics, depending on matters and client needs

Candidate Profile
• 3–5 years of finance experience from a peer firm
• Hands-on drafting and negotiation in credit agreements and ancillary documents
• Comfortable running workstreams, managing closing checklists, and interacting with deal teams
• Bar admission in the state where you plan to sit (and in good standing)

Why This Role
• A private credit platform that regularly advises many of the market’s most active credit investors
• Real deal volume across sponsor finance, special situations, and cross-border angles, not one narrow lane
• Multiple office options, with an in-person expectation
• Base range at $225,000 to $420,000
