Finance Associate (Attorney)

$195k - $217.5k

Oak Ridge Legal Search LLC

Job Description

Job Description

A nationally recognized Am Law 200 law firm consistently ranked among the country's top firms for culture, innovation, wellness, diversity, and attorney integration, is seeking a Corporate Finance Associate with at least three years of experience to join its sophisticated Business Transactions Practice Group in Hartford, Stamford, Boston or New York .

This is an outstanding opportunity for an attorney seeking meaningful exposure to complex financing transactions within a collaborative, collegial, and highly supportive environment that emphasizes mentorship, professional development, and long-term career growth.

Practice Overview

The firm's Finance Group represents clients nationwide in a broad range of sophisticated financing transactions. The team advises:

  • Commercial banks
  • Private credit funds
  • Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs)
  • Venture funds
  • Financial sponsors
  • Portfolio companies
  • Other institutional lenders and borrowers

Representative matters include:

  • First lien financing transactions
  • Second lien financings
  • Unsecured lending transactions
  • Acquisition financings
  • Asset-based lending
  • Venture lending transactions
  • Commercial credit facilities
  • Sponsor-backed financings

Candidate Requirements

Qualified candidates will have:

  • At least three years of sophisticated corporate finance experience in a law firm
  • Experience representing both borrowers and lenders
  • Experience structuring, negotiating, and documenting complex debt financing transactions
  • Strong drafting, negotiation, analytical, and communication skills
  • Excellent academic credentials
  • The ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment

Experience with acquisition finance and venture lending is preferred, but not required.

Candidates must be admitted, or eligible for admission, in the state corresponding to their primary office location.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This firm has earned national recognition for its attorney experience and workplace culture, including distinctions for:

  • Firm culture and collegiality
  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
  • Wellness and attorney support
  • Technology and innovation
  • Integration of laterals and clerks
  • Leadership transparency and accessibility

The firm places significant emphasis on mentorship and attorney integration. Associates are paired with formal mentors and benefit from meaningful responsibility, strong client exposure, and a highly collaborative platform designed to support long-term success.

Additional highlights include:

  • Hybrid work model with approximately 2-3 in-office days per week
  • Competitive compensation and bonus opportunities
  • 1,800-hour annual billable target
  • Billable hour credit for pro bono and approved DEI activities
  • Flexible PTO structure without rigid caps
  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, disability coverage, life insurance, parental leave, 401(k), pet insurance, and more

Compensation

For New York and Massachusetts-based candidates, the anticipated base salary range is approximately $195,000-$217,500, depending upon experience, class year, office location, and overall qualifications.

For consideration, please provide a resume and law school transcript. Deal sheets, writing samples, and cover letters are appreciated but not required. All applications are confidential and NOT shared with employers without the candidate's permission.

Oak Ridge Legal Search and the clients we work with are equal opportunity employers and provide equal opportunity to qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, sexual orientation, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status or any other legally protected class in accordance with all applicable laws . If a level of experience is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.
