Structured Finance & Securtization Associate

One of the US's fastest-growing law firms. Their Chambers-ranked finance group is expanding due to an exceptional pipeline. The firm itself is already an established global platform, and they've recently expanded their US operations with multiple new offices across the country. This is an opportunity that will supercharge your career: sophisticated transactions, hands-on mentorship, and, to top it all off, you will be part of a firm that operates without debt. Worth noting, partner promotions are frequent here. You will keep complex financing structures moving, drafting and negotiating the legal frameworks that allow assets to be funded, securitized, and transferred to capital markets investors. You will work closely with partners on deal work-while they lead the group, you own the deals you work on. Deal pace at this level is real, but exposure to every kind of asset class and structured product, along with cross-border experience, makes the development on offer unmatched. Your route to equity is supported by hands‑on mentorship from an existing partner, adding real structure to your progression. What You’ll Do Draft and negotiate the core transaction document suite, indentures, sale agreements, credit agreements, and servicing agreements, across all asset types and structures. Advise issuers, sponsors, lenders, and investors on their respective positions across securitization and lending transactions. Structure deals independently, identifying and resolving legal issues before they reach the partner. Manage deal timelines, coordinate across tax, regulatory, and insolvency counsel, and drive transactions to close. Build direct client relationships; this is a practice where that access comes early.
