About ROYC

ROYC is the leading European B2B financial technology company that provides a complete private markets operating system, empowering private equity firms, banks, wealth managers, and multi-family offices to seamlessly access, distribute, and manage private investments at scale. As private markets expand, financial institutions require scalable, technology-driven solutions to manage complexity, optimizing fund operations, and delivering exceptional client experiences. ROYC combines state-of-the-art private markets technology with tailored fund structuring and investment solutions. Its intuitive, scalable platform replaces manual processes with automation and real-time data access, transforming how private market investments are managed across the entire fund lifecycle.

Role Purpose

You'll act as ROYC's senior legal and structuring lead: advising on private‑wealth feeder vehicles, GP/master‑feeder and UCI II/evergreen formats; working closely with GPs from product design to launch and operations; translating commercial strategy into legally robust, globally‑deliverable fund solutions.

Role Description

  • Fund Structuring: Lead the design and structuring of private equity feeder funds, focusing on innovative solutions to meet market demands. Play a key role in structuring customized multi-asset solutions across a wide range of product formats, including Regulated Feeder Funds, Retail Solutions (ELTIFs), Evergreen & Open-Ended Semi-Liquid Solutions, and Structured Products.

  • Advise on jurisdictional choice, distribution strategy, investor‑type restrictions, feeder‑vehicle mechanics, side‑letter frameworks, cross‑border structures.

  • Stay ahead of regulatory evolutions (e.g., AIFMD, UCI II, ELTIF, MiFID II, retail/wealth distribution frameworks) and embed compliance into products.

  • Oversee legal documentation (PPMs, subscription agreements, LPAs/IMAs, side‑letters, platform docs) and negotiate with external counsel and service providers.

  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with ROYC internal investment team, legal advisors, compliance officers, and service providers to align product offerings with investor needs and market trends. Establish funds, feeders, and structured solutions in multiple jurisdictions while collaborating with global service providers.

  • Client Engagement: On the back of existing relationships with Private Equity General Partners, Fund formation law firms, and larger Limited Partners, maintain and build new relationships.

  • Participate in GP meetings/workshops, frame legal/practical trade‑offs, optimise structuring for private‑wealth channels and institutional investors.

  • RFPs: Manage and oversee RFPs relating to the more complex structures.

Qualifications:

  • Professional Experience: 5y + experience from law firm or working with product structuring within private equity. Legal degree a must.

  • Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of fund formation processes, ELTIFs, and semi-liquid structures, with a track record of successful product launches.

  • Private Wealth Expertise: Experience in the private wealth segment within private markets is a plus, enabling you to understand and cater to the growing market of high-net-worth clients.

  • Analytical Skills: Excellent analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly.

  • Regulatory understanding: Understand the art of the doable within existing and likely future regulatory regimes.

  • Team Player: Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced and demanding environment.
