About 9finThe worlds 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. 9fins proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal &amp; 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.<h2>The Opportunity</h2>9fin is looking for a senior covenant lawyer with a deep knowledge of restructuring and liability management to grow our groundbreaking coverage of complex out-of-court restructurings with an emphasis on distressed coverage.
