Why Work Here
THE OPENING STATEMENT
At BlackBay, we believe our strength lies in our people. Our rapid growth since our founding in 2022 is a testament to the talent and dedication of our team.
​
The culture that we have created allows the right individuals to thrive and progress faster than anywhere else. Our Associates succesfully run full hearings before many of their peers at other firms would be allowed to join a client meeting.
We are a firm for ambitious people.
What we do is complex, challenging, and requires the best minds — which is why we’re so focused on building a high-performance, high-support environment where ambitious, smart and pragmatic people that strive to achieve the best possible outcome in all scenarios and hold themselves to the highest of standards, come together.
