Equity Partner Attorney, Debt Finance

Location: New York, NY

Salary: $750K

A leading national law firm is undertaking a strategic expansion of its Debt Finance practice and is seeking an Equity Partner to join its New York office.

This is not a replacement hire. It is a deliberate growth initiative driven by sustained client demand and firmwide investment in the practice. The firm added a record number of equity partners last year, and Debt Finance remains a priority area for continued expansion.

You Will Join a Platform With

• Established relationships with private equity sponsors, lenders, and credit funds
• A strong M&A and sponsor-side transactional pipeline generating consistent financing work
• Deep cross-practice collaboration across Private Equity, M&A, Restructuring, and Capital Markets
• Leadership focused on practice growth, not internal competition
• Infrastructure built to support integration, cross-selling, and practice scalability

This is a chance to plug into a system designed to multiply your practice, not just house it.

Ideal Profile

• Partner-level attorney with a focus on Debt Finance / Leveraged Finance
• Experience advising sponsors, lenders, private credit funds, or institutional clients
• Portable business ideally around $3M, though $1.5M–$2.5M books are seriously considered where the practice has strong institutional depth and growth potential
• Interest in joining a firm where platform strength can materially accelerate practice growth

Why Laterals Are Moving to This Platform

• Work flow driven by existing sponsor and PE relationships
• Less siloing, more shared client opportunities
• A firm in growth mode, not a protection or maintenance cycle
• Strategic hiring approach focused on long-term build
