Bankruptcy Attorney

You've spent the last few years in the trenches of Chapter 11 and restructuring work. You like complexity, you like being close to the business issues, and you're ready to step into a role where you are not just a cog on a giant team; you are trusted to think, strategize, and lead. This opportunity is with a highly respected, mid-sized, full-service firm with a national reputation for sophisticated bankruptcy, restructuring, and business litigation work. The firm is known for its entrepreneurial culture, lean staffing, and direct client contact for associates, including significant exposure to high-profile and middle-market matters across industries. This position is hybrid: attorneys work 3 days per week in the office and 2 days remotely, with an emphasis on collaboration, training, and flexibility. The Role You will join a busy, collaborative bankruptcy and restructuring practice handling: Chapter 11 and other bankruptcy proceedings for debtors, creditors, trustees, and other parties in interest. Out-of-court restructurings, loan workouts, and assignments for the benefit of creditors. Purchase and sale of distressed assets, including going-concern and 363-style transactions. Related litigation, including contested matters, adversary proceedings, and coverage/priority disputes. Matters spanning real estate, entertainment, manufacturing, retail, and other industry sectors. You will be staffed on lean teams where your judgment and voice matter. You'll draft key pleadings, argue in court (as ready), negotiate with opposing counsel, and work closely with partners who are invested in your development. What You'll Do Represent debtors, creditors, trustees, and committees in Chapter 11 and other insolvency matters. Handle day-to-day case management: research, drafting, hearings preparation, and client communications. Assist with out-of-court restructurings and workouts, including distressed loans and capital structures. Work on assignments for the benefit of creditors and other state‑law insolvency alternatives. Support distressed M&A and asset sales, including diligence, documentation, and closing. Take ownership of projects and interact directly with sophisticated business and financial clients. What Were Looking For 2–4 years of substantive bankruptcy and restructuring experience at a law firm. Solid exposure to Chapter 11 practice (representing debtors, creditors, trustees, or committees). Experience with at least some of the following: Out‑of‑court restructurings and workouts Assignments for the benefit of creditors Loan workouts and forbearance agreements Distressed asset sales and related transactions Bankruptcy or restructuring‑related litigation Strong writing and analytical skills; comfortable drafting motions, objections, briefs, and related documents. Someone proactive, business‑minded, and energized by working on small, high‑impact teams. Why This Role Stands Out Hybrid schedule with meaningful flexibility while preserving in‑person collaboration and training. Meaningful responsibility early on with client‑facing opportunities, not just back‑office drafting. A tight‑knit team that values mentorship, collaboration, and long‑term growth. Access to complex, interesting matters involving real estate, entertainment, manufacturing, and retail clients. A platform that combines high‑end work with a more balanced, humane environment than otherlarger firms. If you are a bankruptcy/restructuring associate who wants to do sophisticated work, be visible to clients and partners, and grow your skills in a supportive and entrepreneurial environment, we'd like to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr Talento Recruitment Group
