  • Background in M&A, leveraged finance, or other complex commercial/transactional practice
  • Confidence operating in a fast-paced environment with the desire to learn the business
  • Able to manage several simultaneous projects and shift priorities under deadline pressure in a dynamic environment
  • A team player with low ego who can effectively work with other attorneys and legal professionals
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills and an ability to clearly and simply explain complex ideas
