Build your name in sponsor-side leveraged finance while working on some of the most high-profile, cross-border deals in the market.

You’ll get direct exposure to upper-mid and large-cap sponsor transactions that shape the industry. These deals give you faster access to decision-makers, sharper commercial instincts and marketable skills that translate to private equity and private credit.

Working at a fully integrated global platform means you won’t be boxed into domestic work. You’ll collaborate with European and Asian lenders, gain multi-jurisdictional experience, and build a broader commercial playbook, without having to move offices or start over.

And while the hours are still serious (this is leveraged finance), you’ll often find more sustainable rhythms on certain time zones, plus earlier client-facing and deal-running opportunities than many U.S. firms offer. You’ll develop faster, with more responsibility and less waiting around the hierarchy.

What you’ll do

Advise clients on a wide range of debt finance matters, particularly sponsor-side leveraged finance. You’ll work closely with partners and senior lawyers on structuring, negotiating, and executing financing transactions.

Support cross-border matters in coordination with the firm’s global offices, delivering high-quality legal analysis and documentation under tight timelines. You’ll collaborate with internal teams and contribute to a culture of teamwork, innovation, and client service.

What you’ll need

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited U.S. law school, with strong academic performance.
• Class year 2019–2022 (preferred) and experience representing sponsors in leveraged finance.
• Admission to the New York Bar (or ability to waive in), along with demonstrated interest in debt finance, an entrepreneurial mindset, and strong teamwork skills.

About the company

The firm combines deep legal expertise with commercial intelligence to support clients through critical business moments, from growth and transformation to protection and defence.

Their attorneys work as one global team, giving them exposure to cross-border matters, international colleagues, and sector-specific insights.
