A well-established national corporate practice is seeking a Corporate Finance Associate (3–6 years’ experience) to join its growing finance team. This opportunity offers exposure to a diverse mix of lending transactions involving financial institutions, private credit lenders, corporate borrowers, and private equity-backed companies.

Associates in this practice play a central role in structuring and executing financing transactions while working closely with experienced attorneys in a collaborative and client-focused environment.

The Opportunity

You will advise clients on a wide range of corporate lending matters, including loan originations and real estate-related financings. The practice regularly represents financial institutions, private credit lenders, and corporate borrowers in complex credit transactions across a variety of industries.

Associates in the team take on meaningful responsibility, including managing transaction workstreams, coordinating due diligence efforts, and drafting key financing documentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with corporate finance transactions involving lenders, borrowers, and private credit providers
• Draft and negotiate key documentation including loan agreements, security agreements, and intercreditor arrangements
• Advise clients on loan originations and commercial lending transactions
• Support real estate financing transactions within broader corporate lending structures
• Lead transactional due diligence efforts, coordinating with specialists and internal teams
• Review and analyze covenant compliance and financing terms
• Manage deal components and coordinate closing processes across multiple transaction stakeholders

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 3–6 years of experience in corporate finance, banking, or secured lending within a sophisticated law firm environment
• JD required and prior experience working in a law firm
• Experience representing financial institutions, private credit lenders, or borrowers in financing transactions
• Strong drafting experience with loan agreements, security documents, and intercreditor agreements
• Familiarity with real estate finance transactions within broader lending structures
• Excellent academic credentials, writing ability, and strong organizational skills
• Ability to manage multiple assignments with minimal supervision in a fast-paced transactional environment

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to work on diverse corporate finance transactions across multiple industries
• Exposure to financial institutions, private lenders, and corporate borrowers
• Significant responsibility managing deal workstreams and due diligence teams
• A collaborative environment that supports professional development and long-term career growth

This role offers an excellent platform for an associate looking to expand their experience across corporate finance and lending transactions while building a long-term career within a highly regarded transactional practice.
