Inside the Structured Finance market.
Our proprietary Titan AI maps the relevant field first; experienced consultants qualify it by hand. The figures describe the talent market we cover.
- 1,000+
- lawyers with structured finance experience
Structured finance is one of the most technically demanding corners of the legal market. Counsel in this space must move fluently between securitisation mechanics, credit enhancement structures, regulatory capital frameworks and bespoke contractual architecture — a combination that makes genuine expertise rare and highly portable across asset classes and jurisdictions.
We maintain a mapped network of 1,000+ lawyers with structured finance experience, spanning CLOs, RMBS, CMBS, ABS, covered bonds, repackaging vehicles and synthetic structures. That coverage lets us identify specialists by deal-type fluency, not merely by practice-group label — a distinction that matters when mandates require counsel who have actually taken a transaction from structuring through to closing.
Whether a firm needs a senior associate who can lead an ABS shelf programme or a partner-level hire to anchor a nascent structured credit capability, we recruit across the full seniority range with the same rigour applied to each search.

What types of structured finance lawyers can you recruit?
Our mapped network covers the breadth of the asset class: securitisation (RMBS, CMBS, ABS, CLOs), covered bonds, repackaging vehicles, synthetic structures and regulatory capital transactions. We identify candidates by the specific deal types they have worked on, not by a broad finance label, so we can match genuine technical depth to your mandate.
How many live structured finance roles does Sartori & Partners have?
We have 1283 live structured finance roles across our coverage, spanning 773 partner-level and 510 associate or counsel positions. Mandates in this area are typically confidential and off-market — these are only the roles we are actively able to share. Contact us to discuss what else is live.
What compensation do structured finance roles typically offer?
Based on current live mandates, structured finance role compensation in the US runs $100k–$550k. This reflects only the roles where the hiring organisation has authorised us to share a range publicly — many mandates are structured around the right candidate rather than a fixed band. Contact us for a candid benchmark for your specific profile.
