We are exclusively supporting a highly successful international investment platform in the search for a General Counsel & Company Secretary to join its leadership team. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of the legal and governance function of a publicly listed investment business with operations spanning multiple jurisdictions and investments across a diverse portfolio of high-growth companies.
Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the Board, you will lead all aspects of corporate governance, securities law, regulatory compliance and Board matters, while also acting as a trusted adviser on strategic transactions, M&A, financings and broader corporate activity. Operating in a lean, high-performing environment, this role offers significant exposure to investment decision-making and the opportunity to influence key business outcomes.
We are keen to speak with lawyers with strong experience advising listed companies on governance, disclosure and securities law matters. Experience within a UK, US or Canadian listed company environment will be highly regarded, alongside exposure to Board-level advisory work, corporate transactions and international operations. Previous experience as a General Counsel, Deputy General Counsel or senior in-house legal leader in a fast-paced environment would be advantageous.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys operating close to the business, taking ownership and working directly with senior stakeholders on complex strategic matters.
