Partner- Fund Finance; Tier Practice

You have been doing partner level work for two years. Are you are still waiting for the conversation?

There is a point in every senior associate's career where the gap between what you are doing and what you are being paid and titled becomes impossible to ignore. You are running deals. You are the one clients call. You are training the juniors. And yet somehow partnership is always twelve months away.

This is for the fund finance lawyer who is done waiting.

An AmLaw 100 firm in Chicago has a fund finance practice that needs an owner. Not a passenger. Not someone to sit alongside an existing partner and hope work filters down. An owner.

They have the clients. They have the bank panels. They have the cross-referral from structured finance, private credit, and fund formation. The one thing they do not have is the right lawyer to lead it.

That lawyer needs two things. A minimum of eight years of fund finance experience and a serious background in NAV facilities.

No portable business. No false promises about support that never materialises. No waiting room disguised as a partnership track. You walk in as a partner or on a timeline that is real and written down.

The NAV lending market is growing faster than most firms can staff it. This one knows it has fallen behind. This hire is how they fix that. If you are a senior associate or counsel in fund finance with eight or more years behind you, you know exactly whether this is you or not.
