The firm's expertise spans corporate, commercial litigation and arbitration, employment, pensions and private wealth, finance, marine and international trade, and real estate and projects.

About the Team

• The team has doubled in size over the past four years, emerging as the fastest-growing team within the firm both in terms of headcount and revenue.
• While all Associates in the team are encouraged to work across a broad spectrum of partners to diversify their expertise, this role will primarily focus on private equity secondaries transactions.
• The team stands out from the majority of investment funds practices by specializing in complex continuation vehicle secondaries transactions, with their secondaries partners being Tier 1 ranked by Chambers & Partners in this field.

Main Responsibilities:

• Drafting and negotiating fund documentation with clarity and precision.
• Conducting legal research using internal and external knowledge management resources.
• Establishing and expanding an informal internal and external network of contacts.

Attributes/Skills Required:

• Experience as a private equity transactional Lawyer, preferably in private company M&A and secondaries transactions.
• Capacity to acquire, consolidate, and apply fundamental legal knowledge.
• While prior exposure to secondaries acquisitions is advantageous, a deep understanding of private equity fund structures is not a prerequisite for this role. However, a background in private company and private equity M&A is essential to actively participate in a transactional capacity.
• Collaborative and cooperative approach, adept at developing excellent working relationships.
• Outstanding academic and professional qualifications.
