Associate - Debt Finance

$235k - $420k

Bass, Berry & Sims

Our debt financing attorneys represent private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies as well as public and private companies in a wide range of complex, structured financing transactions. We have a strong focus on middle market private equity deals, regularly representing borrowers in junior and senior credit facilities, acquisition financings, capital call facilities, and transactions involving equity investments and changes of ownership. Our borrower-side experience spans syndicated credit facilities, asset-based lending, healthcare finance, intercreditor arrangements, workouts and restructurings, project financings, sale/leaseback transactions, and senior, mezzanine and other junior or split collateral credit financings. We also represent private credit lenders in direct lending transactions, giving our team a comprehensive perspective on all aspects of these financings. We are seeking multiple highly qualified candidates, including junior associates with one (1) to two (2) years of experience and mid-level associates with four (4) to six (6) years of experience, to join our growing debt finance team in our Chicago or Nashville office. Candidates must have private equity debt finance experience. This is a unique opportunity to work with a team that values associate development and mentorship, while contributing to a dynamic and rapidly expanding law practice. Candidates must have excellent analytical, written, verbal and interpersonal skills as well as excellent academic credentials. Salary for this position, if located in our Chicago office, will be in the range of $235,000 - $420,000. This is a salary range, and actual salary will be determined based on the experience of the candidate. Healthcare benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, are available to benefits-eligible employees and their benefits-eligible dependents. Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from an accredited law school and active law license in a U.S. jurisdiction in good standing required. #J-18808-Ljbffr Bass, Berry & Sims
