Salary: $310K – $390K
Advert Code: MLFS198
A top-tier global law firm is seeking a mid-level Leveraged Finance Associate to join its growing finance platform, with a focus on fund finance and private credit transactions. This is an outstanding opportunity to work on cutting-edge financing structures alongside a nationally recognized team advising leading financial institutions and market participants.
This role offers exposure to a broad range of complex financing matters and the ability to play a key role in high-value, multi-jurisdictional transactions.
What You’ll Do
- Advise lenders, arrangers, and borrowers on fund finance, private credit, and leveraged finance transactions
- Structure, draft, and negotiate credit agreements and related financing documentation
- Work on subscription line facilities, NAV facilities, and other structured finance products
- Support debt capital markets and structured finance transactions
- Lead and manage transaction processes from initial structuring through closing
- Conduct legal analysis and provide strategic guidance on complex financing issues
- Collaborate across offices and practice groups on multi-faceted transactions
What They’re Looking For
- 4+ years of experience in leveraged finance, fund finance, private credit, debt capital markets, or structured finance
- Strong drafting and negotiation experience with credit agreements and financing documents
- Demonstrated ability to manage transactions and work directly with clients
- Excellent analytical, writing, and communication skills
- Strong business judgment and attention to detail
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment while managing competing priorities
- Admission to the bar in the relevant jurisdiction
- J.D. required, along with prior experience working in a law firm
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Work at the forefront of fund finance and private credit markets
- Exposure to sophisticated clients, including major financial institutions and direct lenders
- Opportunities to take on significant responsibility and client-facing roles
- Collaborative, high-performing team with a strong emphasis on professional development
- Flexible, multi-office platform with hybrid working options
- Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package
This is an excellent opportunity for an associate looking to elevate their finance practice and gain exposure to some of the most dynamic areas of the market.
