Compensation: $310,000 – $390,000 base salary (commensurate with experience)

Qualifications:

  • Working knowledge of relevant securities laws and regulations, including the Investment Advisers Act

  • Experience with private equity secondary transactions and/or GP-led restructurings is a plus

  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, and client communication skills

  • Admission to the state bar in the office location (or eligibility for prompt admission)

This role offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated, market-leading private equity fund matters within a collaborative, national platform and a highly competitive compensation structure.

The firm is an equal opportunity employer and encourages candidates from all backgrounds and experiences to apply.
