About the Role


Finance Associate – Am Law 50 Firm

I’m working with an Am Law 50 firm that is experiencing impressive organic growth within its finance practice and is now looking to add an associate as part of a long-term succession plan.

The team advises private credit funds and bank lenders on a broad range of financing transactions, including cash flow and asset-based lending, sponsor-backed leveraged buyouts, and acquisition financings. The practice has a strong lender-side tilt (approximately two-thirds lender, one-third borrower), offering excellent exposure to sophisticated institutional clients.

Why this role stands out

  • Practice Growth: The finance group has doubled its revenue over the past five years and continues to grow at pace

  • Quality of Work: High-end private credit and bank finance work, including LBOs and acquisition financings

  • Progression: The practice leader hires with partnership firmly in mind — anyone joining the team is viewed as a future partner

  • Responsibility: Associates progress quickly and take on meaningful responsibility early

  • Platform: Am Law 50 brand with a strong, well-resourced finance practice and long-term investment

  • Locations: Open to candidates based in Atlanta, New York, or Chicago

This is an excellent opportunity for a junior finance associate looking for top-tier lender-side experience, rapid development, and a clear path toward partnership within a growing and well-led practice.
