Our client ranks as one of the largest asset management companies globally with a large affiliate network across Europe, U.S. And Asia.
We are now looking for a junior-mid level lawyer (minimum 3 years’ PQE) to join their established London legal team on a permanent basis.
You may come from another asset manager, the financial services sector in a wider sense or a law firm. IMA experience is key here, and that you can hit the ground running in this area.
Previous in-house experience in an asset manager would be beneficial.
What will the role involve?
- IMAs - reviewing, drafting, negotiating. Some of which will be complex, bespoke, require solid negotiation skills and be intellectually challenging (you will not, for example, be churning through the same IMA time and time again);
- Assisting with other types of contractual documentation:
- investment advisory agreements, terms of reference for the investment committee;
- commercial agreements in a wider sense such as IT contracts, marketing agreements;
- and ad hoc projects as they arise across the business.
As part of a global legal team, it is important that you can work closely and coordinate with your legal colleagues in Paris, Hong Kong and US, and be able to comprehend multi-jurisdictional matters for a complexly structured organisation.
What are we looking for?
- Excellent interpersonal skills and demonstrated ability to work collaboratively as well as build effective relationships across various departments within a large and diverse organisation in an international environment;
- An eye for detail, strong organisational skills and the ability to take responsibility for own workload and self-manage;
- Must be business-focused, with a strong work ethic;
- Must be an individual who listens well and who is attuned to multi-cultural differences associated with conducting business internationally.
Our client has an excellent compensation and benefits package and continues to offer hybrid working from their City office.
