Bankruptcy & Restructuring Associate (3-6 yrs) – Sophisticated Work, Direct Access to Practice Leadership

Share Job

Job Overview

About the Opportunity
What if your next bankruptcy role gave you the opportunity to work directly with the practice leader while developing a broader perspective on the business challenges behind a restructuring?

We’re working with our client, a national firm that brings together lawyers, business consultants, and industry specialists. Its multidisciplinary approach is particularly relevant to bankruptcy work, where court proceedings often intersect with financing, real estate, corporate transactions, and complex regulatory issues.

The firm’s bankruptcy practice handles Chapter 11 proceedings, out-of-court workouts, distressed asset sales, and creditors’ rights matters, with particular depth in health care and real estate. For you, that offers a setting in which to deepen your bankruptcy skills while collaborating with attorneys across practices and offices on the issues facing financially distressed businesses and their stakeholders.

This is an opportunity to combine direct work with practice leadership, substantive responsibility, and the resources of a multidisciplinary national firm.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Work closely with the head of the bankruptcy group on sophisticated bankruptcy, restructuring, and insolvency matters
• Help address complex financial distress issues affecting companies, creditors, and other stakeholders
• Collaborate with attorneys across practice areas and offices, bringing different perspectives to challenging matters

Who We’re Looking For
An associate with 3-6 years of bankruptcy, restructuring, or insolvency experience who is interested in handling complex matters alongside practice leadership. Experience advising debtors and creditors’ committees is preferred, along with the ability to draft and refine motions, objections, and other bankruptcy submissions into court-ready documents.

The ideal candidate brings strong research, writing, analytical, and communication skills, sound practical judgment, and a proactive approach to solving difficult problems. We’re looking for someone who can move work forward independently while collaborating effectively with colleagues and clients.

Strong academic and professional credentials are required, as is active bar membership in good standing in the jurisdiction where the associate will practice.
