Bankruptcy Counsel/Junior Partner

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Compensation: $250,000 - $350,000

A leading law firm is seeking a Bankruptcy Counsel or Junior Partner to join its Philadelphia-based restructuring and bankruptcy practice. This is an opportunity for an experienced attorney to take on a meaningful role in complex Chapter 11 proceedings, creditor-side representations, and business reorganizations while helping expand an established practice.

You will complement an existing practice focused on bankruptcy, restructuring, creditors' rights, and commercial insolvency matters. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical bankruptcy experience, the ability to manage matters independently, and the business development skills to contribute to the continued growth of the group.

• Represent secured lenders, unsecured creditors, debtors, creditors' committees, and other stakeholders in Chapter 11 and other bankruptcy proceedings.
• Handle complex bankruptcy litigation, contested matters, adversary proceedings, and disputes involving creditors' rights and debt recovery.
• Advise clients on financial restructurings, distressed transactions, workouts, and insolvency-related issues.
• Manage matters from initial strategy through resolution, including court appearances, motion practice, negotiations, and settlement discussions.
• Work directly with clients and collaborate with attorneys across litigation, corporate, and finance practices on distressed business matters.
• Contribute to client development, relationship management, and the growth of the bankruptcy and restructuring practice.
  
  

• Significant experience in bankruptcy, restructuring, creditors' rights, and related commercial litigation.
• Demonstrated experience handling Chapter 11 matters and complex bankruptcy proceedings.
• Strong drafting, negotiation, advocacy, and case-management skills.
• Ability to manage client relationships and lead matters with limited supervision.
• A portable book of business or demonstrated ability to develop new client relationships is a plus, particularly for candidates at the junior partner level.
  
  

This role offers the opportunity to join an established bankruptcy and restructuring team with a platform for greater responsibility, client ownership, and long-term practice growth. The successful candidate will complement the group's existing capabilities, bring additional depth to complex insolvency and litigation matters, and help strengthen the practice's relationships with lenders, creditors, businesses, and other key stakeholders.
