I’m pleased to partner exclusively, with a small privately owned investment business in London with diverse interests in real estate, private equity, leisure and consumer businesses. They are looking to appoint their first lawyer to work with and report directly into the CEO, primarily supporting their Real Estate division, with assets of over £1 billion split between the UK, EU and USA. They invest in opportunistic and value-add real estate opportunities through development, repositioning, and special situations and own these assets either directly or through joint ventures and fund structures. This first-time legal hire (which can be accommodated on a part-time basis) is motivated by the desire to expedite and simplify transactions by providing input on structuring and key issues at an early stage, advising the leadership team in managing and developing the business through its next growth phase. This lawyer will have the ability to identify headline issues at an early stage and make sound judgements and recommendations in complex legal matters whilst being mindful of what is best for the business. This position will suit an experienced, corporate / private equity lawyer, with at least 10 years’ PQE, experienced in joint ventures, funding and corporate transactions in-house (including transactions in the real estate sector) or alternatively someone motivated to seek a better work life balance outside of a City Law firm. Occasional travel may be required. Applications are very welcome from those seeking a part-time working arrangement as this can be accommodated. For further information, please email me directly at laura.fieldssq.com or apply to the advert. Please be assured of confidentiality in any application. Due to the anticipated level of interested, we can only respond to applicants who meet the role requirements.
