Work with institutional lenders, issuers, underwriters, investors, and rating agencies on bespoke financing solutions

What You Bring:

Experience:
- At least 2 years of hands-on experience in structured finance and securitization work at a peer firm
Skills:
- Strong drafting and analytical skills
- A commercial mindset and attention to deal timelines
- Ability to manage multiple transactions concurrently in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
Education:
- J.D. from a top law school with strong academic performance
Bar Admission:
- Active member in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar (NY or CA preferred depending on office)

Why Join This Firm:

Work with trailblazing attorneys shaping the future of the securitization market
Access to global clients , resources, and training unmatched by any other firm
Thrive in a highly collaborative environment that invests in your growth
Enjoy clear paths for advancement and a firm culture that values excellence and innovation
