Associate, Banking & Finance - Restructuring, Workouts and Insolvency
Associate – Restructuring & Insolvency
An exciting opportunity is available for an Associate with restructuring, insolvency or banking and finance experience to join a leading Restructuring & Insolvency practice.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on some of Australia's largest and most complex distressed and insolvency situations, gaining exposure to sophisticated restructuring transactions, workouts, distressed financing and cross-border matters.
You will join a collaborative and high-performing team that works closely with specialists across banking and finance, corporate and private equity to develop innovative and commercially focused solutions for clients facing complex financial situations.
The Team
The Restructuring & Insolvency team advises on complex distressed situations using a broad range of formal, consensual and informal restructuring and turnaround processes.
The practice works across both front-end and back-end restructuring matters, with a strong emphasis on transactional and advisory work. Back-end work is generally focused on court applications required to support and implement restructuring processes and structures rather than broader commercial litigation.
The team regularly advises on complex and innovative restructuring structures and works collaboratively with lawyers across banking and finance, M&A and private equity to deliver integrated solutions for clients.
You will work closely with experienced senior practitioners in a collaborative team environment where lawyers at all levels are encouraged to contribute to strategy and develop their technical and commercial expertise.
The Role
We are seeking an Associate with approximately 2–4 years' post-admission experience to join the Restructuring & Insolvency practice.
You will work across a broad range of restructuring and insolvency matters, with a particular focus on front-end restructuring, transactions and strategic advisory work.
The opportunity may particularly suit an insolvency litigation lawyer looking to transition towards front-end restructuring and transactional work, a Banking & Finance lawyer interested in specialising in restructuring and insolvency, or a lawyer already practising in front-end restructuring who is looking for exposure to larger and more complex matters.
You will gain hands-on experience across sophisticated distressed situations while working closely with specialists from complementary practice areas.
Responsibilities include:
Benefits
The firm offers a supportive and flexible working environment with a strong focus on professional development and long-term career progression.
Benefits include hybrid and flexible working arrangements, competitive remuneration and incentive opportunities, comprehensive learning and development programs and access to mentoring and career development support.
Employees also have access to a broad range of health and wellbeing initiatives, subsidised fitness and social activities, additional leave options, generous parental leave arrangements and opportunities for international experience.
