With more than 400 litigators in offices around the globe, the firm is an industry leader in representing clients in all aspects of litigation. Their litigation practice is diverse geographically (across continents), substantively (covering a broad range of practice areas) and procedurally (we appear in many different types of proceedings with various pretrial, trial and appellate objectives). The firm’s securities practice numbers over 200 lawyers and is recognized as the “‘place to go’ for high-profile matters that carry large potential liabilities” (Chambers USA). The firm regularly represents clients in the full range of investigations and proceedings initiated by the SEC, Department of Justice, FINRA, Congress, state regulators and attorneys general and other government agencies.

A Bankruptcy and Financial Restructuring Practice seeks a New York-based associate with 1-3 years of post-JD experience. The Group's practice—which is resident in our New York, Boston and DC offices—has two main areas of focus: (1) bankruptcy litigation, including trial and appellate work, and (2) core corporate restructuring, including debtor, creditor/debt holder, ad hoc committee, and creditors' committee work in chapter 11 cases.

Because of the firm's overall strength in the areas of securities, financial institutions, and intellectual property, much of the group's work involves the intersection of bankruptcy and insolvency law with these disciplines. The ideal candidate would have exposure to bankruptcy and insolvency matters as well as a basic understanding of typical debt finance transactions, and would be eager to join the group's practice in New York. Candidates with clerkship experience, whether with bankruptcy courts or other federal courts, are particularly encouraged to apply.
