Structured Finance / Securitization Attorney Associate

You picked structured finance because the work is intellectually complex and the deal volume never stops. You were right about both of those things. But somewhere around year three, you realized the complexity you're touching has a ceiling.You're deep in the docs — reviewing offering materials, turning PSAs, marking up intercreditor agreements — but you're not structuring the deals. The partners negotiate the economics with the underwriters and the rating agencies, and by the time the term sheet hits your desk, every material decision has already been made. You're executing someone else's structure on repeat.The problem isn't that you lack the skills. It's that your current platform treats structured finance associates as document production. The partners who built the practice learned by sitting in the room when the deal was being designed. You're learning by redlining the output.A firm with one of the deepest and most recognized structured finance practices in the country is adding to its New York team.
