Bankruptcy Associate

We are looking for a Bankruptcy Associate with Chapter 11 experience to join a boutique firm that offers big-firm sophistication with unparalleled hands-on experience representing corporate debtors. This is an opportunity to run cases, appear in court, and develop business acumen in ways that large firms simply cannot offer — with compensation that rewards those who deliver.

What will you be doing?

• Representing corporate debtors in Chapter 11 proceedings and out-of-court workouts
• Running cases end-to-end with significant autonomy and court appearances
• Developing creative solutions to make all parties willing to accept outcomes in complex restructurings
• Handling some bankruptcy litigation as needed
• Working directly with partners who are invested in training you to become an excellent business-minded lawyer

Key Requirements

• Chapter 11 debtor-side experience (creditor-only or bank-side candidates will not be considered)
• Admitted to practice in California (New York admission alone is insufficient)
• Business acumen and comfort with numbers/financial concepts
• Stable employment history — job-hopping is a significant red flag
• Creative problem-solving mindset (not a "just say no" approach) with strong EQ and ability to read the room
