We are also responsible for the formation and management of collective investment schemes, including UCITs, AIFs, and US registered and private funds. Our team advises on a wide range of general commercial legal issues and regulations, including derivatives trading regulation, UK and EU securitisation regulation, and UK company law.

We are actively involved in the implementation of Insight's strategic initiatives and work closely with external legal counsel to advise on specific matters.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Advising primarily in relation to Irish QIAIFs (including L-QIAIFs) and UCITS, with work also being undertaken on Insight's other fund ranges in Guernsey, Luxembourg, the UK, and to a lesser extent, the US and Australia.
  • Fund structuring and the implementation of legal and tax structuring advice whilst working alongside the product development team.
  • Working on fund mergers, corporate actions, and closures, including advising on regulatory requirements and drafting shareholder memoranda.
  • Drafting and reviewing fund and supporting documentation, including constitutional documents, offering documents, investment management agreements, administration and depositary agreements, distribution agreements, and NDAs.
  • Liaising with fund and management company boards as required.
  • Advising on marketing and distribution queries and prospective investor queries in relation to Insight's fund ranges.
  • Advising on fund-related regulatory matters, such as SFDR, Volcker, BHCA, and MiFID II (working with compliance and US legal).
  • Working on ad hoc projects (EMEA or firmwide).
  • Managing and documenting internal knowhow.
Requirements:
  • Solicitor / lawyer qualified in England and Wales or an equivalent jurisdiction.
  • Relevant post-qualification experience gained either in-house or in private practice.
  • 4+ years' relevant post-qualification experience.
