  • Experience representing borrowers and/or lenders in complex financing transactions
  • Leveraged finance experience, particularly in connection with mergers and acquisitions, is strongly preferred
  • Experience with restructurings, loan workouts, and debtor-in-possession financings is a plus
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, analytical, and project management skills
  • Outstanding academic credentials and attention to detail
