Attorney - Special Situations (Cravath Scale Elite Global Platform) (New York)

Step into the room where capital structure decisions are made, not the room where they are typed up.

A top 10 global powerhouse is expanding its special situations and capital solutions team in New York. The group is lean and partner-led. The work is live, contested and high value.

You will work side by side with a recognised finance partner advising leading private equity sponsors and corporate boards on stressed situations, liability management and strategic recapitalisations. When sponsors are negotiating billion-dollar debt exchanges or structuring a defensive uptier, you will be in the discussions.

The team is seeking associates with a minimum of 3 years’ experience in special situations, liability management or restructuring-linked finance from an elite US platform.

You should bring exposure to:

• Liability management transactions • Uptier and drop-down structures • Distressed or stressed debt financings • DIP and exit facilities • Sponsor-led recapitalisations

In this role, you will:

• Run key sections of multi-billion dollar negotiations • Engage directly with sponsors and creditor groups • Shape structuring strategy, not just document it • Build a deal sheet defined by complexity and visibility

There is no bench depth to hide behind. Strong performance is seen and rewarded.

If you want sharper judgement, stronger sponsor credibility and front-line responsibility on the market’s most intricate transactions, this is the seat.
