  • Advise clients on strategic alternatives, transaction structures, and execution risks as they address complex capital structure challenges.
  • Draft, analyze, and negotiate transaction support agreements, credit agreements, indentures, intercreditor arrangements, and related transaction documents.
  • Support public and private companies, sponsors, creditor groups, hedge funds, direct lenders, and distressed investors in liability management and exchange transactions.
  • Collaborate across banking and private credit, capital markets, restructuring, M&A, tax, and litigation capabilities to develop tailored approaches to client matters.
  • Take an active role in coordinating junior associates and supporting their professional development.

What You Bring

  • Strong understanding of corporate capital structures and the ability to identify and assess potential liability management solutions.
  • Experience drafting, analyzing, and negotiating complex finance or restructuring documents, such as credit agreements, indentures, and intercreditor arrangements.
  • Ability to evaluate strategic alternatives and execution risks and communicate practical advice to clients.
  • Sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to contribute effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative practice.
