Restructuring Associate (Remote)

Restructuring Associate – Fully Remote

I’m working with a mid-sized, restructuring-focused law firm that consistently goes head-to-head with the major players in the market while remaining intentionally lean and long-term in how it builds its teams. This is a fully remote role, offering top-of-market work without the usual Big Law constraints.

The practice is heavily focused on Chapter 11 creditor-side matters, representing sophisticated institutional and financial clients. Hiring is clearly succession-driven, associates are brought in with equity partnership in mind, rather than as short-term leverage.

Practice Overview

• Chapter 11 creditor-side restructuring work

• Institutional and financial client representations

• High-end, complex matters competing directly with top-tier restructuring practices

Why this role stands out

• Team Structure: No lateral partner hiring. Associates are hired with the expectation that most will progress to equity partner around their 8th year

• Progression: Clear, defined succession plan with a genuine runway to equity partnership

• Quality of Work: Consistently competing with the leading restructuring firms on marquee matters

• Compensation: Cravath scale base salary, full market bonus, plus additional discretionary bonus

• Flexibility: Fully remote role, with access to an optional Chicago office if desired

This is a rare opportunity for a restructuring associate who wants top-tier Chapter 11 creditor-side work, exceptional long-term prospects, and true geographic flexibility.
