Restructuring Associate

1–3 PQE Restructuring & Insolvency US Firm - London

A leading US law firm is looking to hire a junior to mid-level Associate into its London-based Restructuring & Insolvency team, as it continues to invest in its European platform.

This is a compelling opportunity to join a top-tier, globally integrated restructuring practice advising on some of the most complex and high-profile situations across Europe and beyond.

The Opportunity

You will be involved in a broad mix of sophisticated matters, including:

• Cross-border restructurings, insolvencies and special situations

• Creditor-side mandates for ad hoc groups, funds and institutional investors

• Liability management exercises and strategic recapitalisations

• Distressed M&A and opportunistic investments

• Complex restructuring plans, schemes of arrangement and international workouts

The team is known for handling high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional mandates, often involving tight timelines, complex capital structures and sophisticated stakeholders.

The Team

You will join a market-leading restructuring group with a strong reputation for advising financial creditors, private capital and strategic investors in distressed scenarios.

The practice operates within a lean, high-performance structure, offering:

• Close partner interaction and hands-on deal exposure

• A genuinely collaborative and commercially focused environment

• Integration with global offices on cross-border mandates

Why This Role Stands Out

• Exposure to headline European and global restructuring matters

• Strong pipeline driven by market volatility and special situations activity

• Opportunity to work closely with leading restructuring partners and clients

• Lean teams enabling early responsibility and accelerated development

• Clear progression within a high-growth, internationally recognised platform

Candidate Profile

• England & Wales qualified (or common law equivalent)

• 1-3 PQE with experience in restructuring, insolvency, finance or leveraged finance

• Strong technical grounding with commercial awareness

• Experience of cross-border transactions or complex capital structures advantageous

• Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious lawyer seeking top-tier work, strong deal exposure and a clear path for progression within a leading global restructuring practice.
