Associate - Finance and Special Situations

What Makes This Different Here's the thing about this role-it's not often you find a position that gives you both sides of the credit cycle. You'll be working in a top-tier financial restructuring group, but instead of just doing distressed work, you're handling performing credit deals too. Acquisition financings, term loans, unitranche facilities, intercreditors-the full leveraged finance toolkit. Then when things go sideways, you're there for the workouts and restructurings. It's rare. Most firms silo these practices. Here, you get the whole picture. The Work Your day-to-day covers complex debt financings (heavy on middle-market sponsor deals), plus special situations and restructuring matters when credits become distressed. You'll work with private credit funds, opportunistic lenders, ad hoc groups, banks, PE sponsors, and borrowers. Think: commitment letters, sponsor grids, intercreditor arrangements on the performing side. Workouts, court restructurings, and special sits when things get interesting. What They're Looking For Strong leveraged finance background - 5 to 7 years doing sophisticated debt deals. Middle-market acquisition financings are your bread and butter. You know your way around term sheets and credit agreements. The distressed piece? Nice to have, but not required. What matters more is that you actually want to learn it. You're curious about how deals unwind and how to fix them. You want a practice that's more than just closing the same type of deal over and over. Why This Matters Most finance associates pick a lane-performing or distressed. This role lets you build expertise across both, which frankly makes you more valuable and gives you better options down the road. Plus, you're doing it at a firm with serious restructuring chops and marquee clients.
