  • San Francisco, CA

Job Description

Bankruptcy & Restructuring Associate

Direct Counsel is partnering with a nationally respected law firm to add a talented Bankruptcy & Restructuring Associate to its San Francisco office. This is a standout opportunity for an attorney who thrives in complex financial matters and wants to work alongside one of the most established insolvency groups in the country.

About the Role

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • 3–7 years of solid bankruptcy and restructuring experience

  • California bar admission

  • Strong writing skills and excellent academic credentials

  • Experience with bankruptcy litigation, including preference actions, is a plus

You'll work on sophisticated matters across industries, supporting clients through every stage of financial distress and reorganization.

About the Practice

For more than 80 years, the firm's Insolvency & Financial Law Group has represented virtually every participant in financial litigation and restructuring, including:

  • Secured lenders & landlords

  • Unsecured creditors

  • Creditor & equity committees

  • Trustees

  • Buyers of distressed assets

  • Contract counterparties

The group is particularly renowned for its work in lending, bankruptcy litigation, health care, and technology, and is nationally recognized for its ability to navigate high-stakes proceedings in any economic climate.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary Range: $170,000 – $230,000

  • Bonus Potential: Up to $106,000 (based on experience & performance)

  • Unlimited PTO

  • 401(k) + full benefits package

  • Equity partnership track for all attorney positions

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Joining this team offers access to sophisticated, impactful work within a dynamic, growing firm that values collaboration, professional development, and long-term success. The environment is supportive, entrepreneurial, and designed to empower attorneys at every level.

Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

The firm's eight-decade commitment to inclusivity is deeply woven into its culture. They actively welcome candidates of all backgrounds and believe that diverse perspectives enrich client service, drive innovation, and strengthen the firm as a whole.

About Direct Counsel

Direct Counsel partners with leading law firms and in-house legal departments nationwide to connect talented attorneys with outstanding opportunities. We take pride in matching professionals with roles that align with their expertise, values, and long-term career goals.

If you're a skilled Bankruptcy Attorney ready to advance your career and take on complex, business-critical cases, we'd love to hear from you!
