- Strong command of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules, including debtor representation in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 cases.
- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school.
- Active New York bar admission.
- An existing book of business: roughly $400-600K for a more junior partner profile with partner experience in the last 5 years, or $1m+ for a senior partner with more than 15 years as a partner.
- A collaborative, approachable style and comfort working across practice groups.
- Ability to manage a practice independently without heavy oversight.
- Aptitude for client stewardship and transition planning.
- Ability to work in the office full time.
- Existing authorization to work in the United States.
