Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- A qualified lawyer with approximately 3–6 years’ PQE and strong fund formation (private funds) experience gained in private practice and/or in-house.
- A good understanding of European fund structures and regulations, including AIFMD and UCITS would be ideal but not essential, alongside experience drafting and negotiating core fund documentation.
