Investment Funds Attorney

Scion Staffing

Elite Investment Funds Leadership Opportunity | Nationally Ranked Platform | Multi-Market Flexibility

A highly regarded, nationally ranked full-service law firm is actively seeking a senior Investment Funds Attorney (10+ years) to join its sophisticated corporate and private investment platform.


This opportunity is ideal for an accomplished attorney currently practicing in BigLaw, AmLaw, or an elite investment management / private funds practice who is seeking a more strategic, growth-oriented environment without sacrificing sophistication, compensation, or caliber of work.


The Opportunity


Join a nationally respected firm with an expanding footprint and exceptional reputation for serving sophisticated sponsors, fund managers, family offices, institutional investors, and private capital platforms.

Key highlights include:

  • High-level work in private fund formation, structuring, compliance, and investment management
  • Broad exposure to:

    • Private equity funds
    • Venture capital funds
    • Hedge funds
    • Real estate funds
    • Credit funds
    • Regulatory and operational compliance
  • Opportunity to work directly with sophisticated clients in a more entrepreneurial, collaborative setting
  • Strong internal infrastructure with national platform support
  • this opportunity can be based out of any of the firm's offices in various locations along the East Coast and Texas.
  • Competitive compensation structure commensurate with experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Leadership, business development, and long-term partnership potential
Ideal Candidate Profile
  • 10+ years of sophisticated investment funds experience
  • Background from:

    • BigLaw / AmLaw
    • Top-tier boutique funds practices
    • Sophisticated in-house investment platforms
  • Deep experience in:

    • Fund formation
    • Sponsor-side structuring
    • Securities and regulatory compliance
    • Investment adviser matters
    • Investor negotiations
  • Excellent academic credentials
  • Strong communication and leadership capabilities
  • Portable business is welcomed but not required
Why This Role Stands Out


This is not simply another lateral move.


This platform offers the opportunity to:
  • Escape unnecessary bureaucracy
  • Maintain highly sophisticated practice quality
  • Gain greater client intimacy and autonomy
  • Position yourself for strategic leadership
  • Build or expand your long-term practice on a respected national stage

For senior attorneys seeking the next evolution of their practice, this role offers a compelling balance of prestige, flexibility, sophistication, and future upside .



Confidential inquiries are encouraged.
Qualified candidates exploring strategic career advancement in the private funds and investment management space are invited to connect discreetly.
