(New York)

Our AmLaw 100 client’s strategic equity transactions team is hiring a 3rd–6th year associate in New York.

This is a capital markets-driven practice focused on complex equity derivatives, equity-linked financings, and structured transactions for major financial institutions and issuers.

You will work on:

• Convertible debt and convertible preferred offerings
• Variable prepaid forwards, funded collars, and margin loans
• Accelerated share repurchases and capped calls
• Structured acquisition transactions, including long total return swaps

The team advises bulge-bracket banks, public companies, private equity sponsors, and high-net-worth investors on high-value, time-sensitive transactions.

Derivatives experience is helpful but not required. A strong foundation in securities, capital markets, secured transactions, or restructuring is highly relevant.

• 3–6 years of transactional experience
• Background in capital markets or complex financing transactions
• Comfort with technical analysis and detailed documentation
  
  Ability to manage multiple moving pieces under deal timelines

You should want a practice that blends product depth with constant deal flow.

This group operates within a top-tier capital markets platform that consistently ranks at the top of league tables by volume and value.

You will develop true product expertise while remaining a well-rounded securities lawyer. The cross-border element adds additional range, with coordination across New York, London, and Asia.

If you are looking for more technical sophistication and a differentiated capital markets niche, this is a serious step up.
