Elite US Law Firm | London

An elite US law firm in London is seeking to hire an outstanding NQ associate into its high-performing transactional practice.

The team is recognised as one of the premier restructuring and special situations platforms in the market, advising financial institutions, private credit funds, hedge funds, ad hoc creditor groups, sponsors, and corporates on some of the most complex and high-profile cross-border restructurings globally.

Associates can expect exposure to a broad range of sophisticated matters, including:

• Cross-border restructurings and insolvencies
• Liability management exercises and special situations financings
• Distressed debt and stressed investment scenarios
• Chapter 11 and English restructuring plan processes
• Acquisition and rescue financings
• Creditor-side and ad hoc committee mandates
• Distressed M&A and opportunistic investments involving financially distressed businesses

Recent matters handled by the wider team have included:

• Advising senior lenders on multi-billion-dollar recapitalisations
• Acting on major English law restructuring plans
• Advising financing sources on Chapter 11 exit financings
• Representing creditor groups and noteholders on complex European restructurings
• Advising investors and lenders on distressed and special situations opportunities across Europe and the US

The successful candidate will benefit from:

• Cravath compensation
• Market-leading deal exposure
• A highly entrepreneurial and collaborative culture
• Excellent long-term progression prospects within a growing London platform

Requirements:

• England and Wales qualified, with experience in a top tier R&I team, or an NQ approaching qualification with a seat within R&I.

This is a genuinely leanly staffed environment, offering junior associates exceptional responsibility, direct partner access, and exposure to cutting-edge restructuring strategies and high-stakes negotiations from an early stage.

This is a rare opportunity for a high-calibre junior lawyer to join one of the market’s premier US practices at a particularly exciting stage of growth.
