    About this role

    We are looking for a Senior Bankruptcy Attorney with 15+ years of experience to lead and build out the bankruptcy and restructuring practice at a top-ranked boutique venture capital law firm. You'll bring your own portable book of business ($1M-$1.5M in annual collections) and serve as the head of the department, with a clear path to equity partnership and exceptional compensation upside.

    What will you be doing?

    • Leading the firm's bankruptcy and restructuring practice as the senior department head

    • Handling both in-court bankruptcy matters and out-of-court restructurings
    • 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
    Role responsibilities
    • Oversee portable bankruptcy practice
    • Work 300 to 400 hours per year of firm-generated bankruptcy work
    • Grow the attorney's current practice
    • Work closely with Reitler attorneys servicing existing firm clients
    • Support in growing their own book of business
