Top Tier Platform | 3+ Years Experience | Australian Lawyers
Position yourself for global partnership by building your career in the world's largest leveraged finance market.
Top tier New York firms are hiring Australian lawyers from tier one firms with 3+ years of leveraged finance experience. You'll work on high-value US and cross-border deals that build skills faster than staying in Australia.
Your transition is fully supported:
The firms provide E-3 visa sponsorship, comprehensive relocation assistance, and dedicated support for your New York bar preparation. You won't navigate this alone.
What you'll gain:
You'll advise on leveraged buyouts and acquisition financings for private equity sponsors and corporate borrowers. You'll draft and negotiate sophisticated credit agreements and security documents. You'll manage entire deals from due diligence through closing, building expertise that typically takes years longer to develop in smaller markets.
This direct responsibility accelerates your path to senior roles because you're running transactions, not just supporting them.
Why New York positions you globally:
You become marketable anywhere.
New York leveraged finance experience is recognized worldwide. Partners at elite firms in London, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Singapore actively seek lawyers with this background. You expand your career options significantly.
Managing US deals means negotiating with the most sophisticated lenders and sponsors in the world. This compresses your development timeline by years compared to smaller markets.
Australian lawyers are already succeeding.
We've placed multiple lawyers from tier one Australian firms into elite New York platforms. Every single one has gained New York bar qualification within their first year. They're now running major deals, building portable books of business, and positioning themselves for partnership.
What you need:
Background at a tier one Australian firm. 3+ years of leveraged finance experience with exposure to acquisition financings, refinancings, or sponsor deals. Confidence managing transactions. Commitment to relocating and obtaining New York bar qualification.
