Chicago  | Hybrid (3 in / 2 remote)

Own high-impact deals from day one. Join a tight-knit Finance & Transactions team that moves fast, collaborates hard, and empowers you to lead real transactions for marquee clients—backed by mentorship, feedback, and a platform built for growth.

The Opportunity
  • Be the driver, not the passenger. Draft and negotiate core loan documents, run diligence, manage checklists, and take deals across the finish line.
  • Front-row client access. Partner directly with shareholders and stakeholders; help shape strategy and win new business.
  • Grow at speed. Hands-on coaching, real-time feedback, and a clear runway for responsibility.
What You’ll Do
  • Lead pieces of commercial finance transactions—bilateral & syndicated credit facilities, secured lending, amendments/consents.
  • Orchestrate execution across lenders, borrowers, and agents—issue spot, solve problems, and keep timelines tight.
  • Juggle multiple matters with calm, clarity, and precision.
  • Team up across practices to deliver commercial, practical outcomes.
About You
  • 4–6 years of law-firm commercial finance experience.
  • Proven loan doc drafter/negotiator and deal manager.
  • Sharp communicator, meticulous organizer, natural collaborator.
  • J.D. with strong academics; admitted (or pursuing admission) in Illinois or Texas and in good standing.
Why You’ll Love It Here
  • Sophisticated work, zero stuffiness.
  • Responsibility based on readiness—not just class year.
  • Real mentorship, training, and feedback that accelerate your trajectory.
  • Hybrid flexibility: 3 days in-office, 2 remote.
Compensation
$280,000 – $320,000 annual base salary (DOE) + competitive benefits.
