We are excited to be conducting a search for an established, progressive midsized New York law firm seeking an experienced Bankruptcy & Restructuring Senior Counsel or Partner to join its sophisticated commercial practice. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney with a minimum of seven years of experience to assume significant responsibility for complex matters, work directly with clients and help lead the continued growth of the practice.

The practice includes Chapter 11 reorganizations, Chapter 7 liquidations, out of court workouts, distressed debt and asset transactions, DIP financing, Section 363 sales, receiverships and related commercial litigation. Strong drafting, negotiation, courtroom and client management skills are essential, along with the ability to independently manage complex matters and collaborate across the firm's litigation and transactional practices. Admission to practice law in New York is required.


This firm is at the forefront of empowering multiple generations to advance throughout the firm, particularly within this practice. Compensation ranges from $260K to $320K plus performance bonus, a top tier benefits package and additional compensation based on client originations. This is a lucrative opportunity for an accomplished bankruptcy and restructuring attorney to expand their client base, develop relationships with the firm's longstanding clients and earn the confidence of colleagues as a trusted resource for referrals.
