Fund Finance Associate Attorney (Mid-Level), Chicago, Charlotte, or New York

A premier U.S. finance practice is seeking a mid-level Fund Finance Associate to join a sophisticated and fast-growing team advising on complex financing transactions. This role is ideal for an associate who wants to deepen their fund finance and private credit experience while working on market-leading deals alongside highly regarded practitioners.

The Opportunity

You will support a dynamic finance practice handling a broad range of secured and unsecured lending transactions, including:

• Fund financings
• Leveraged finance and private credit transactions
• Acquisition financings and bridge loans
• Complex domestic and cross-border syndicated and bilateral deals

The role offers meaningful responsibility, hands-on deal exposure, and the opportunity to work closely with clients and senior attorneys on technically challenging matters at the forefront of the market.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Strong emphasis on fund finance and leveraged finance/private credit
• High-quality deal flow with institutional clients
• A collaborative, intellectually rigorous team environment
• Clear opportunities for professional development and long-term growth
• Flexibility to be based in Chicago, Charlotte, or New York

Candidate Profile

• JD from an accredited law school
• Prior experience practicing at a law firm
• 2–5 years of relevant finance experience
• Demonstrated strength in fund finance and/or leveraged finance transactions
• Excellent academic credentials and strong drafting skills
• Detail-oriented, commercially minded, and comfortable managing complex workstreams
• Admission to at least one U.S. state bar

This position is well-suited for associates seeking to build a top-tier fund finance practice with increasing responsibility, client interaction, and exposure to sophisticated transactions.
