Job description

Leveraged Finance/Private Credit Associate Attorney

Direct Counsel is seeking a Leveraged Finance/Private Credit Associate Attorney to join a national firm. Available locations include Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, and New York.

The firm is seeking an associate attorney with 5–7 years of experience in leveraged finance and private credit to join its Finance & Financial Services practice group. The ideal candidate has substantial experience representing financial institutions, private credit funds, BDCs, and non-bank lenders in sophisticated, sponsor-backed transactions. This role involves significant responsibility, direct client interaction, and ownership of workstreams within a fast-paced, high-performance environment.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and supporting sponsor-backed acquisition financings across various industries, including cross-border and multi-currency transactions.
  • Structuring and negotiating cash-flow and asset-based lending facilities (senior, senior-stretch, superpriority revolvers).
  • Handling multi-lender and syndicated credit facilities, including intercreditor and subordination arrangements.
  • Working on mezzanine and subordinated debt, preferred equity co-investments, and other structured financing solutions.
  • Advising on liability management transactions (LMEs), including uptier exchanges, covenant resets, amendments, waivers, drop-downs, and exchange offers.
  • Managing amend-and-extend transactions, refinancings, and recapitalizations for sponsor portfolio companies.

Requirements include:

  • 5–7 years of leveraged finance/private credit experience at a national, NY-style firm.
  • JD from an ABA-accredited law school.
  • Bar admission in one or more listed jurisdictions (FL, NY, MA, IL, GA, NC, TX) or eligibility to become licensed.
  • Minimum three days per week in-office.
  • Deep familiarity with LMEs, unitranche/FOLO structures, multi-lender syndications, and sponsor finance market terms.
  • Strong drafting skills (credit agreements, security documents, intercreditors, commitment papers).
  • Proven ability to manage complex transactions and client relationships.
  • Big-law training and a track record of handling sophisticated deals.

For the listed locations, the expected compensation range is $365,000 – $420,000, depending on qualifications and experience. Range may vary for other markets.
