This is an exciting opportunity to work with a sophisticated, nationally recognized team advising top-tier clients across the private funds ecosystem. This position will be based out of New York City in a hybrid structure.

The Opportunity

This practice represents both general partners (GPs) and limited partners (LPs) across a broad range of fund strategies. The team provides comprehensive counsel aligned with the evolving dynamics of the private funds industry.

As part of this group, you'll work on complex, high-impact matters including:

  • Secondary transactions (buy- and sell-side LP stakes)
  • GP-led restructurings and liquidity solutions

Qualifications

  • J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
  • Active bar membership in good standing in New York or ability to gain quickly
  • 3+ of relevant experience in fund formation and investment management
  • Exposure to:
  • The Investment Advisers Act (including registration considerations)
  • Compliance frameworks for private fund managers
  • The Securities Act, as it relates to private investment funds
  • Strong drafting and analytical skills
  • Confidence working directly with clients and collaborating across teams

Why This Role

  • Join a collaborative, high-performing team with a strong reputation in the private funds space
  • Meaningful client exposure & sophisticated deal work
  • Clear pathways for growth
  • Direct mentorship from senior leadership

If you're looking to elevate your private funds career with top-tier clients and a dynamic team, we'd love to connect.
