Funds Associate/Senior Associate (3–6 PQE) | London
An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a Funds Associate (3-6 years' PQE) to join a growing and ambitious Funds team in London.
This role is ideal for a high-performing associate looking to accelerate their career within a leading international law firm. The successful candidate will have strong experience advising on investment funds matters, with exposure to fund transactions including primary investments, secondaries, co-investments, and other complex transactional work.
The Opportunity
You will join a dynamic and expanding team advising an exceptional client base on a broad range of high-profile capital raising and transactional mandates.
This is a rare opportunity to become part of a growing practice where associates are given genuine responsibility from an early stage. You'll take ownership of matters, draft and negotiate key transaction documents (including facility agreements where relevant), lead negotiations with counterparties, and work directly with clients on sophisticated domestic and cross-border transactions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

- 3-6 years' post-qualification experience gained at a leading law firm.
- Strong investment funds experience.
- Experience advising on fund transactions, including primary investments, secondaries, and co-investments.
- Confidence drafting and negotiating complex transaction documentation, with experience of facility agreements viewed favourably.
