Associate Attorney – Commercial Finance (3–6 Years’ Experience) Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Phoenix

Associate Attorney – Commercial Finance (3–6 Years’ Experience)

Take your finance practice to the next level with a role that offers immediate exposure to sophisticated, high-value transactions across a national platform. This opportunity is ideal for an associate who thrives in complex deal environments and is looking to deepen their expertise in commercial lending and structured finance.

You’ll join a highly regarded finance team representing a broad spectrum of institutional clients—including lenders, private equity sponsors, investors, and nonprofit organizations—on a wide range of cutting-edge transactions.

What You’ll Do

• Advise clients on complex commercial finance transactions, including syndicated and portfolio deals
• Structure, draft, and negotiate loan and credit agreements across a variety of financing arrangements
• Work closely with lenders, borrowers, and investors on deal execution from inception through closing
• Analyze and apply Article 9 of the UCC and bankruptcy considerations across all stages of transactions
• Support and advise on workouts, restructurings, and special situations (where applicable)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on multi-layered transactions, including those involving M&A and private equity components

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role offers a strong mix of deal responsibility, client exposure, and mentorship within a collaborative, nationally recognized platform. You’ll gain hands-on experience with sophisticated financing structures while working alongside attorneys who are invested in your long-term development. The environment is both entrepreneurial and supportive—designed for attorneys who want to take ownership of their practice while continuing to grow.

What You Bring

• 3–6 years of experience in commercial finance or related transactional practice
• Strong background in handling complex financing transactions
• Working knowledge of Article 9 of the UCC and bankruptcy law in a finance context
• Excellent drafting, analytical, and negotiation skills
• Ability to manage multiple matters in a fast-paced environment
• Strong academic credentials
• JD required and prior experience working in a law firm
• Active bar admission in at least one relevant U.S. jurisdiction

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to workouts, restructuring, or distressed situations
• Familiarity with private equity-backed transactions or M&A

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary ranging from $210,000 to $305,000, depending on experience and location
• Eligibility for performance and profit-sharing bonus programs
• Comprehensive benefits package including health coverage, retirement plans, and generous paid time off

This is a compelling opportunity for a commercially minded associate seeking high-quality work, meaningful responsibility, and a clear path for growth within a thriving finance practice.
