You will be the direct day-to-day contact for clients (both deal teams and legal) advising on compliance risk in connection with their live transactions and existing investments.
The role requires a familiarity with corporate and private equity deal structures and the ability to quickly assess key risk factors for our clients’ transactions.
We are are looking for outside-the-box thinking deal lawyers who know how to manage clients in the fast-paced financial services industry - no prior compliance experience is required.

- Experience representing asset management, institutional investor or other FS clients
- Strong commercial awareness with a solutions-first approach and strong attention to detail.
