I am exclusively retained by a highly successful investment platform to appoint a Legal Counsel to join its London-based legal team.
Working closely with the General Counsel and senior business stakeholders, this is an opportunity to move into a genuinely broad private equity role with exposure across funds, investments, governance and strategic business matters. The successful candidate will operate at the centre of a dynamic, deal-driven environment, partnering regularly with investment professionals and senior management on a wide range of legal and commercial issues.
The role will suit a lawyer coming from a leading private funds or sponsor-side private equity practice who is looking to make the move in-house without sacrificing the quality or complexity of work. You will advise on fund and investor-related matters, support investment activity throughout the deal lifecycle, contribute to governance and structuring projects, and work alongside external counsel on domestic and cross-border matters. The position offers significant responsibility, visibility and the opportunity to become a trusted adviser to a sophisticated investment business.
