Overview

The role focuses on representing and advising companies experiencing financial difficulties, as well as lenders and creditors, in complex business reorganizations, debt restructurings, and financing matters. Debtor-side experience is ideally preferred.
Responsibilities include managing and supporting complex domestic and cross-border corporate, finance, real estate, tax, employment, and other transactional matters through the full lifecycle, from inception to closing and post-closing activities.
The associate will conduct legal due diligence; draft, review, negotiate, and revise various transaction documents and agreements; structure transactions and provide strategic advice; support deal execution; and coordinate transaction closings.
The role involves participating in negotiations with clients, counterparties, lenders, investors, regulators, and other stakeholders, and advising on applicable regulatory, governance, and compliance considerations related to transactions.
There is an opportunity for a hybrid work arrangement combining remote and in-office work, with the specific details determined at hiring and subject to firm discretion.
