Associate - Financial Services Transactional

Washington, United States | Posted on 10/13/2025

Our AmLaw 100 client, a top‑tier powerhouse in financial services and fintech transactions, is looking for a mid‑level associate who’s not here to play it safe.

This is where you come to make deals, not memos.

Join a team that's shaping the future of money. You'll be at the table for high‑stakes partnerships with global banks, disruptor fintechs, and major payment processors. Think BaaS, co‑brand cards, BIN sponsor ships, and everything pushing the edge of finance.

• Strategic deals in the payments and lending space (credit, deposits, prepaid, and beyond)
• High‑impact commercial agreements for next‑gen financial products
• Complex structures that require real brains and real grit

• A seat in one of the most respected, battle‑tested financial services teams in Big Law
• A career trajectory with clarity, and a firm that invests in your rise
• Elite comp: $260K–$390K base, killer bonus potential, and top‑shelf benefits
• Hybrid flexibility, paid bar dues, and wellness perks that actually make a difference
• The freedom to operate like an owner, not just another cog

• 3–6 years of experience owning key pieces of complex transactions
• A sharp legal mind, killer drafting skills, and comfort with client contact
• A real interest in fintech, payments, or financial services (bonus if you've touched any of it)
• Bar membership in NY or DC (or the ability to waive in)

This isn’t your average associate role. It's for attorneys who want the front lines, not the sidelines.
