Job description

A leading New York finance team is looking to add a leveraged finance associate to its market-leading sponsor practice.

The team advises on some of the most sophisticated transactions in the market, including multi-billion dollar leveraged buyouts, take-private acquisitions exceeding $5 billion, cross-border acquisition financings, liability management transactions, DIP financings and loan-to-own opportunities. Clients include leading private equity sponsors, direct lenders, banks and alternative capital providers.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of leveraged finance experience
• AmLaw 100 or comparable elite finance practice background
• Experience representing sponsors or lenders, with an interest in developing a broader practice across both sides of the market

This is a team that consistently handles headline transactions while offering a level of responsibility often difficult to find elsewhere. Associates work directly with partners, take ownership of key workstreams and gain exposure to the full deal lifecycle from an early stage.

For associates looking to move beyond a narrow product focus and build a genuine sponsor-side platform within a top-tier practice, this opportunity is worth a conversation.
