Job Description:

Financial Restructuring Associate | 3–10 PQE | Elite US Law Firm – LONDON ?

? Cravath-Level Salary | High-End Financial Advisory Work | Global Special Situations

An elite US firm in London is seeking an outstanding Financial Restructuring Associate (3–10 PQE) to join its market-leading team, working on the most sophisticated mandates in Europe and globally.

This is a rare opportunity to operate at the heart of the global special situations, liability management, and financial restructuring market — advising top-tier investment funds, financial institutions, and corporate borrowers on complex, capital structure events across jurisdictions.

? The Role:

You’ll be advising clients across the full spectrum of financial restructuring transactions, including:

• Liability management and amend-and-extend transactions
• Distressed refinancings and rescue financings
• Consensual restructurings and equitisation strategies
• High-stakes NAV facilities, super senior structures, and intercreditor negotiations
• Acting for creditor groups, PE sponsors, and distressed investors on value-maximising restructurings of complex capital stacks
• Close collaboration with private capital, leveraged finance, and special situations teams

Expect to be deeply embedded with clients — structuring and executing bespoke solutions on the most challenging balance sheet situations across Europe and beyond.

? Why This Role Stands Out:

• Cravath-scale salary in London — unmatched earning potential
• Work at the cutting edge of financial restructuring and capital solutions
• High-impact mandates with lean deal teams and early client exposure
• Join a globally integrated team recognised for excellence across special situations, private credit, and financial restructuring
• Steep learning curve, elite training, and clear promotion prospects in a high-performance culture

? Candidate Profile:

• 3–10 years’ PQE in financial restructuring, liability management, or special situations from a top-tier UK, US, or international firm
• Strong experience acting for lenders, funds, or sponsors on complex financial restructurings
• Excellent technical and commercial skills with a pragmatic, solutions-driven approach
• England & Wales qualified or eligible to practice in the UK
• Ambitious, intellectually curious, and thrives in a fast-paced, elite environment

? Apply via LinkedIn or contact [Name] at [email/phone] for a confidential discussion.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join one of the most prestigious financial restructuring platforms in the world — while staying in London and earning at the very top of the market.
