Leveraged Finance Associate

Hirschler is a multispecialty, mid-sized law firm headquartered in Virginia, with a strong regional and national presence. Our attorneys deliver sophisticated, practical legal counsel across a broad range of practice areas, combining the depth of expertise found at large national firms with the personalized service and collaborative culture that define a premier regional firm.

We are seeking a Leveraged Finance Associate with 3-5 years of experience to join our sophisticated and growing practice. We represent an impressive roster of financial institutions, private equity sponsors, borrowers, and private credit lenders — giving our attorneys meaningful exposure to the full spectrum of deal activity.

You will have the opportunity to represent a wide array of clients across diverse financial transactions, building a broad and differentiated skill set that sets you apart in the market. Our dynamic finance practice operates at the center of complex financial transactions.

Responsibilities:

• Represent borrowers, banks, and private credit lenders in commercial senior secured financings

• Advise on acquisition finance and private equity-backed transactions

• Draft and negotiate credit agreements, security agreements, guaranty agreements, and related documentation

• Handle project financings and mezzanine debt issuances

• Counsel clients on distressed credit situations and restructuring matters

• Advise on UCC Article 9 matters

• Collaborate directly with senior attorneys to deliver seamless, full-service counsel to clients

• Contribute to business development and client relationship management as practice grows

Qualifications:

• 3–5 years of experience in leveraged finance transactions at a law firm or in-house

• Demonstrated experience representing both lenders and borrowers in a variety of financing matters

• Familiarity with acquisition finance, private equity-backed transactions, and private credit

• Experience with credit agreements, security agreements, guaranty agreements, and UCC Article 9

• Excellent academic credentials and strong writing and drafting skills

• Licensed to practice law in Virginia, or eligible for admission in Virginia

• General corporate law experience is a plus but not required

Why Hirschler?

At a mid-sized firm, you won't be lost in a large department handling one narrow piece of a transaction. You will work directly alongside senior partners and leaders who are invested in your development — giving you the mentorship, visibility, and substantive responsibility needed to grow quickly into a trusted advisor in your own right.

The candidate will be considered for any of our locations: Richmond, Tysons, or Fredericksburg.
