Bankruptcy & Restructuring Attorney

Kovoro

Our client is an AmLaw 50 firm whose restructuring practice is consistently ranked among the top in the country. The Chicago office has been at the center of some of the most significant regional and national Chapter 11 cases in recent years across retail, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. As Bankruptcy & Restructuring Attorney you will represent debtors-in-possession, administrative agents, secured lenders, or official committees across all phases of complex Chapter 11 proceedings — from first-day motions through plan confirmation. You will also advise on out-of-court restructuring alternatives, distressed debt trading issues, and Section 363 asset sale processes. The practice offers the full spectrum of debtor and creditor-side representation, providing associates and mid-level attorneys with genuinely balanced experience. The firm is an active recruiter of candidates from top restructuring boutiques and Big Law restructuring groups. Requirements JD from a top-tier law school; Illinois bar admission required 4-8 years of bankruptcy and restructuring experience at a large law firm or specialty boutique Substantial Chapter 11 experience on either the debtor or creditor side in complex cases Experience with Section 363 sales, DIP financing, and plan of reorganization confirmation Strong academic credentials and writing ability #J-18808-Ljbffr Kovoro
