New York, NY, United States Direct Counsel Full time
Structured Credit / CLO Associate Attorney - New York (2-8 Years)
Compensation Range: $235,000-$435,000

Direct Counsel is partnering with a premier global law firm to recruit a Structured Credit / CLO Associate Attorney for its New York office. This opportunity is suited for attorneys with 2 to 8 years of experience, with responsibilities and compensation tailored to skill level.

You'll join a high-performing, market-leading team that represents top investment banks, asset managers, and financial institutions on sophisticated structured finance transactions. While the core focus is collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), the practice also handles:
  • Securitizations across asset classes
  • Asset-based lending transactions (bilateral and syndicated)
  • Warehouse and bridge financings
  • Preferred stock and bespoke financing structures
  • Structured finance vehicles and related regulatory matters
  • Corporate governance issues tied to financing transactions
Associates in this group work on lean deal teams, gain direct client exposure, and take ownership of transactions. The team fosters a collaborative, fast-paced environment with strong mentorship and career development.

Ideal candidates will have:
  • 2-8 years of relevant experience in CLOs, structured credit, securitization, or complex finance transactions
  • Experience drafting and negotiating financing documents, including credit agreements, intercreditor arrangements, and related deal documents
  • Admission to the New York State Bar in good standing
  • Strong academic credentials and detail orientation
  • Ability to manage workstreams, interface with clients, and handle fast-paced transactional matters
  • Familiarity with forms such as NVCA, seriesseed.com, or Y Combinator is a plus at the more senior end

Compensation
Salary will be commensurate with experience, ranging from $235,000 to $435,000 annually.

Application Materials
Candidates should be prepared to submit a resume, law school transcript, and (as applicable) a writing sample or deal sheet.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an associate attorney looking to deepen their experience in structured credit with a leading practice and direct access to sophisticated transactions and mentorship.
