Choate, Hall & Stewart LLP
Overview
Choate’s nationally recognized debt finance practice is seeking a lateral associate, principal or counsel with significant experience in cash flow-based lending to join our dynamic and growing team. We represent a diverse array of lender-side clients—including money center banks, private credit funds, business development companies, and other institutional investors—in sophisticated debt finance transactions across a wide range of industries. Our work spans senior secured and mezzanine financings, with a strong focus on acquisition financings and sports financings involving professional sports teams and leagues, as well as the construction and renovation of stadiums and arenas. We welcome candidates who are interested in pursuing the equity partner track, as well as those who prefer to focus on delivering high-level legal execution and exceptional client service in a fast-paced, collaborative environment without seeking partnership. Job Functions / Responsibilities
Represent leading financial institutions and private credit lenders in complex cash flow financing transactions. Work on a wide variety of deals, including acquisition financings, senior secured and mezzanine debt structures, junior capital investments, and sports financings involving team and league lending, and arena and stadium projects. Manage all aspects of transactional workstreams—from structuring and negotiating deal documents to overseeing closings. Collaborate closely with partners and clients in a fast-paced, high-performing practice. Qualifications
Experience in transactional debt finance matters, particularly cash flow and acquisition financings. Experience in sports finance is a plus but not required. Excellent academic credentials and strong analytical, drafting, and negotiation skills. Enthusiastic team player who thrives in a collaborative environment. Schedule
The Firm is currently operating in a hybrid model, with the requirement that everyone should be in the office at least four days per week. This schedule is subject to change dependent on Firm, department and client needs, and will be routinely evaluated. Work Authorization
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship by the Firm (either now or in the future). About the Firm
