About the opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Funds/ LP Transfers Lawyer to join a forward-thinking, tech-enabled legal platform supporting some of the world’s leading asset managers and private equity firms.
This is a non-traditional legal role, sitting within a specialist funds team that combines legal expertise with a highly structured, delivery-led model. The environment offers a more in-house style of working, while retaining the quality and pace of private practice.

- No traditional billable hours model
- Greater ownership of transactions at your level
- A more structured, output-driven environment
- Close, ongoing relationships with clients (more embedded than typical private practice)
- Exposure to a modern legal delivery model supported by technology
This role will suit someone looking for a shift away from traditional law firm hierarchy, while remaining close to high-quality funds work.

- Ideally 3–6 PQE
- Background in: Private funds / investment funds, Private equity / asset management
