Senior Restructuring Counsel | Elite NY Law Firm London
Exceptional opportunities like this rarely come to market.
A leading global law firm is seeking a senior restructuring lawyer (typically 7+ PQE) to join its European Restructuring team in a newly created non-fee-earning Counsel position.
Working directly with one of the market's leading restructuring partners, you'll sit at the centre of the European stressed and distressed credit market, helping drive business development, market intelligence, client engagement, thought leadership, training, knowledge management and AI initiatives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
