The Corporate Restructuring group is seeking a mid-to-senior level associate (class of 2014-2018) with experience representing debtors, creditors, and other parties-in-interest in structuring and litigation acquisitions, out-of-court workouts, and prepackaged and traditional Chapter 11 cases. Candidates with experience litigating bankruptcy and commercial matters arising in corporate and fiduciary disputes and distressed situations and restructuring transactions, including fraudulent transfer litigation, adversary proceedings, contested plan confirmations, contested involuntary bankruptcy petitions, Rule 2004 examinations, and bankruptcy appeals will be particularly competitive.
The Corporate Restructuring Group at Skadden provides innovative solutions to clients involved in distressed company situations, allowing clients to enhance value, minimize costs and properly position themselves for the future. We represent troubled companies, boards of directors, management, owners, creditors, lenders, investors and acquirors in the full spectrum of in- and out-of-court restructuring transactions, including financial recapitalizations, business reorganizations, acquisitions and liquidations. Our lawyers also advise on insolvency issues in corporate and financing transactions and on all aspects of distressed debt trading and securities issues.
Associates who join Skadden laterally participate in an enhanced mentor program, which specifically focuses on the unique needs experienced attorneys face during professional transitions.
These efforts, along with our professional development and other Skadden benefits, including a hybrid work model, which currently consists of working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the office and living proximate to the office, underscores Skadden's long-standing commitment to investing in its people, culture and diversity. We also have an extensive pro bono program that allows attorneys to devote, and receive credit for, time for myriad causes that spark their interests and matches those interests with the legal needs in the community.
