Job description

Associate Attorney – Corporate Finance

A leading national finance practice is seeking a Corporate Finance Associate (2–4 years’ experience) to join its dynamic transactional team. This role offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated credit transactions representing lenders, financial institutions, and private equity sponsors in complex financing arrangements.

Associates in this practice are deeply involved in structuring and executing high-value financings while collaborating with experienced attorneys in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Advise clients on club and broadly syndicated credit facilities across a range of industries
• Assist with acquisition financings and leveraged lending transactions
• Support private credit facilities involving institutional lenders and alternative capital providers
• Draft and negotiate key documentation including credit agreements, commitment letters, term sheets, and security agreements
• Work on intercreditor and subordination arrangements in complex capital structures
• Prepare and coordinate closing deliverables, including secretary’s certificates, board resolutions, legal opinions, schedules, and exhibits
• Collaborate with internal deal teams and external counterparties to manage transaction timelines and closing processes

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 2–4 years of experience in corporate finance, banking, or leveraged lending within a sophisticated law firm environment
• JD required and prior experience working in a law firm
• Experience drafting and negotiating credit agreements and related financing documentation
• Familiarity with syndicated lending, acquisition financings, and private credit transactions
• Exposure to private equity sponsors and portfolio company financings is beneficial
• Strong drafting skills, attention to detail, and commercial awareness
• Proactive, collaborative, and capable of managing multiple deal workstreams

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to work on complex corporate finance transactions with leading lenders and sponsors
• Significant responsibility and hands-on deal experience early in your career
• Exposure to a wide range of financing structures across industries
• Collaborative team environment focused on professional development and deal execution excellence

This is an excellent opportunity for an associate looking to deepen their experience in corporate finance while working on sophisticated transactions in a highly regarded transactional practice.
