    Job Description


    Mid-Level Financial Services Associate – Fintech. Payments. Power Moves.

    New York or Washington, DC | 3–6 Years of Experience

    Our AmLaw 100 client, a top-tier powerhouse in financial services and fintech transactions, is looking for a mid-level associate who’s not here to play it safe.

    This is where you come to make deals, not memos.
    Join a team that's shaping the future of money. You'll be at the table for high-stakes partnerships with global banks, disruptor fintechs, and major payment processors. Think BaaS, co-brand cards, BIN sponsorships, and everything pushing the edge of finance.

    What You’ll Work On:

    • Strategic deals in the payments and lending space (credit, deposits, prepaid, and beyond)

    • High-impact commercial agreements for next-gen financial products

    • Complex structures that require real brains and real grit

    What You’ll Get:

    • A seat in one of the most respected, battle-tested financial services teams in BigLaw

    • A career trajectory with clarity, and a firm that invests in your rise

    • Elite comp: $260K–$390K base, killer bonus potential, and top-shelf benefits

    • Hybrid flexibility, paid bar dues, and wellness perks that actually make a difference

    • The freedom to operate like an owner, not just another cog

    What You Bring:

    • 3–6 years of experience owning key pieces of complex transactions

    • A sharp legal mind, killer drafting skills, and comfort with client contact

    • A real interest in fintech, payments, or financial services (bonus if you've touched any of it)

    • Bar membership in NY or DC (or the ability to waive in)

    This isn’t your average associate role. It's for attorneys who want the front lines, not the sidelines.
