In this role, you will advise creditors, debtors, and other stakeholders in financially distressed situations, including Chapter 11 proceedings, out-of-court restructurings, and cross-border insolvencies. You will take on meaningful responsibility, including drafting pleadings and motions, developing plans of reorganization, negotiating key restructuring documents, and managing cross-border workstreams. You will also analyze complex financial and business information, work closely with financial advisors and experts, and serve as a primary point of contact for clients on fast-moving matters.

We are looking for an attorney with excellent academic credentials, a solid grounding in commercial law, and a strong interest in restructuring and insolvency. You should be organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple workstreams while navigating complex, evolving legal issues. Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and a proactive, team-oriented approach are essential.

  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree (or LLM/foreign equivalent) from an accredited law school
  • 1+ years of experience in a large law firm setting
  • Admission to the bar in the jurisdiction where you will be based
  • Excellent drafting, communication, and time management skills
