About 9fin
The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.
Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture is completely different. It still behaves like it’s in the 1980s; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is imperfect and scattered.
Our mission is to change this.
9fin's proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal & ESG analysis. Our clients are able to make faster, more informed decisions, win more business and most importantly, save time.
Our fast growing list of clients include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.
9fin is looking for a Senior Leveraged Finance / High Yield Capital Markets Lawyer to help develop our offering of leveraged loan and high yield bond covenant research and analytics in the US. The role will report into our New York office with flexibility to work from home / remotely as needed.
This role offers a unique opportunity for an experienced leveraged finance lawyer to use their expertise within a rapidly growing start-up environment, with much greater work-life balance than can be found in a typical law firm environment.
Every day is different, but here’s an example of the kind of things you’ll work on:
Reviewing leveraged loan and high yield documentation to produce commercially focused and insightful analysis on the primary market
Writing topical reports on secondary situations, collaborating closely across 9fin’s team of senior lawyers and credit / distressed analysts
Answering client questions about the covenant packages of specific borrowers and issuers
Using 9fin’s proprietary technology to build and expand our covenant databases
Delivering seminars, teach-ins and podcast segments as a subject matter expert
Representing 9fin in the press and at industry conferences and events
This role will be a great fit if you have the following:
JD with 6+ years of experience within a leveraged finance or high yield capital markets team at a top-tier law firm
Experience of drafting, reviewing and negotiating high yield bond and/or leveraged loan documentation
Keen commercial awareness of leveraged finance markets and capital structures
Strong technical understanding of how leveraged finance covenants and definitions operate
Solid existing network of relationships within the leveraged finance community
Excellent networking and relationship building skills
Effective written and verbal communication skills, able to explain complex covenant concepts to non-lawyers concisely
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
We’re a scaling start up and we enjoy sharing our success, when the company
succeeds, we always reinvest that in our people. We also offer huge amounts of responsibility, an abundance of opportunity for growth and a platform to truly excel.
