- Working 300-400 hours per year on firm-generated bankruptcy work alongside your portable practice
- Mentoring and directing a junior associate with bankruptcy background already on staff
Key Requirements
- Must have a standalone portable bankruptcy/restructuring practice ($1M-$1.5M in annual collections)
- Deep experience in both in-court bankruptcy and out-of-court workouts/restructurings
- Ability to operate as a department head — you will essentially be the practice
- Entrepreneurial mindset with desire to grow a book of business on a supportive platform
- Some big law firm experience preferred; must be comfortable in a high-level boutique setting
