About the Role

The Company is seeking a Senior Legal Counsel with a focus on Private Funds, particularly in the areas of Private Credit and Lending.

The successful candidate will be responsible for providing expert legal guidance on private fund and SMA formation, offering, structuring, and oversight.

The ideal candidate will have a substantial amount of experience in private market funds legal matters, particularly in the context of private credit and lending.
