About the Opportunity
Our client, an Am Law 100 firm, is seeking a Finance & Restructuring Litigation Associate to join its nationally recognized team. This group provides integrated and strategic counsel on a wide range of financial matters, including complex transactions, corporate debt restructurings, and related litigation.

- Support finance and restructuring matters that intersect with litigation strategy
- Collaborate with partners and senior associates on high-value, complex cases
- Draft motions, briefs, and discovery with a focus on precision and strategy
- Contribute to Native American sovereignty, gaming, and land dispute matters
What You Bring
- 3–5 years of litigation experience (Am Law 100 background strongly preferred)
- Strong commercial litigation skills with excellent writing and advocacy abilities
- Superior academic credentials (3.2 GPA or higher preferred)
- Ideally only one firm listed on your resume for consistency and depth of experience
- Ability to thrive in a collaborative, high-performance team
