Job Description
Are you a private practice lawyer looking to make your first step in-house?
Are you looking to work for a flagship brand within financial services?
Are you a private funds lawyer exposed to private equity, private credit, and real estate asset classes?
I am working with a globally recognized institution seeking a dynamic lawyer to join its EMEA legal team. The institution operates in a range of asset classes, but you will focus on private equity, private credit, and real estate; as such, experience in these asset classes would be advantageous.
You will get your teeth into cutting-edge work and be well-supported with external counsel. While funds work will play a large part in this role, there will be transactional work to support across a range of asset classes, and corporate lawyers that have both funds formation and transactional experience will be welcome.
Responsibilities:
* Advising, structuring, and executing new fund proposals for IM, potentially ranging from complex structured retail offerings to bespoke alternative fund-of-one strategies.
* Advising on the maintenance, operation, and distribution of existing fund platforms domiciled in the region, providing advisory support for the onboarding of new investors, and advising the portfolio management team.
* Assessing the impact of new regulation on the business and contributing to structural changes (whether corporate or regulatory) and subsequent execution.
What are they looking for?
* 8-10PQE either in-house or in a major law firm (sponsor side experience would be a bonus).
* Working knowledge of funds formation, governance, and advisory.
* Experience in representing companies and private investment funds in M&A transactions (ideally within Private Equity).
* Experience in real estate and/or infrastructure investments is helpful.
* Understanding of financial regulation (including MIFID, AIFMD, SFDR) and potentially US regulations such as Volcker.
What is on offer?
* Competitive six-figure base salary.
* Bonus.
* Excellent benefits package.
* Opportunity to work for a global financial services brand!
This is an incredible opportunity to step up at a global financial institution and get exposure to high-quality work. If you would like to apply, click below, or if you have any other questions, please email me at luke.masih@thesjp.co.uk.
