A leading global law firm is seeking a highly qualified 3rd–6th year associate to join its Capital Markets Practice in Washington, DC. The firm's capital markets team is consistently ranked at the top of league tables for both volume and value of work, serving issuers, private equity investors, and investment banks across major global financial centers.

The practice is known for thought leadership and innovation, having pioneered new deal structures and capital markets solutions, including direct listings and alternatives to traditional debt and equity offerings. The team handles the full spectrum of capital markets work — from IPOs to derivatives, high yield bonds to direct listings — and supports clients across all sectors on their most complex transactions.

In Washington, DC, the practice draws exceptional support from a centralized team of former SEC senior officials and experienced capital markets lawyers, providing unparalleled real-time advice on sophisticated securities and listing issues. The firm offers an intellectually stimulating environment where talented associates can grow into exceptional lawyers.

  • 3–6 years of meaningful corporate finance experience
  • Vast majority of associate career spent in capital markets (equity, high yield, and/or hybrid capital offerings) or debt finance (acquisition financings, syndicated term loans, or direct-lending arrangements)
  • Strong academic credentials and demonstrated interest in capital markets
  • Excellent analytical, drafting, and communication skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
