Job description

This is a fantastic opportunity for a 3-4 year fund finance associate to join a market leading, high‑growth practice focused specifically on NAV finance. The role offers hands‑on responsibility, high client visibility, and the chance to join one of the most sophisticated lender‑side fund finance platforms in the market. This position is based in New York and is ideal for an associate seeking both accelerated development and long‑term career advancement.

About My Client

My client is a leading global law firm with a highly regarded fund finance team, which has become one of the most dominant players in the space. They represent a large portfolio of lender clients including major investment banks and private credit funds. They also have a proven track record of internal promotions of associates into partner level roles.

The group is known for its collaborative, close‑knit culture, a growth‑focused partnership, and an extensive alumni network. Associates benefit from a dynamic environment where contributions are valued, and advancement is both realistic and supported.

Role

In this role, you will primarily work on NAV finance and asset‑based lending transactions, taking on significant drafting, negotiation, and client‑facing responsibilities. You will operate at a high level, involved in key negotiations, ideal for someone eager to lead workstreams and contribute meaningfully to a rapidly expanding practice.

Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and negotiate core documentation for NAV and asset‑based fund finance transactions.
• Act as a key point of contact for clients, counterparties, and internal teams throughout the deal process.
• Lead substantive workstreams with increasing autonomy and responsibility.
• Participate in closings, negotiations, and structuring discussions.
• Collaborate with a tight‑knit team of fund finance specialists.

Qualifications

• 3-4 years' experience in fund finance, NAV and/or subscription finance experience would be ideal. However, our client will also consider candidates with leveraged finance experience as well as borrower‑side finance experience.
• Must have significant drafting experience beyond diligence and ancillary documents.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage transactions with minimal oversight.
• New York-based candidates only.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Fast‑growing practice with real momentum.
• Clear promotion trajectory
• Top lender‑side platform with unmatched exposure to leading global clients.
• Highly collaborative, supportive culture with a growth focused partnership team.
• Opportunity to gain hands‑on responsibility and complex drafting experience early.
• This team is open to hiring lawyers from other major firms who are seeking more substantial touchpoints, as well as those lawyers at smaller firms seeking a step up.
