Job description

PE Fund looking to appoint a Corporate and Portfolio Management Lawyer.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the investment team in a newly created front office role to support the day‑to‑day management of the funds at various stages of the investment life cycle for this successful and growing fund.

Seeking a versatile Corporate M&A lawyer (from 4 years' PQE) with an appetite to broaden their practice, including commercial, DP, employment, IP, fundings, compliance and regulatory matters across European jurisdictions.

Candidate will have trained and qualified at a top City law firm, have over 4 years' PQE with excellent technical corporate M&A grounding and solid experience supporting portfolio companies. European language skills (French, Spanish, German, Italian) in addition to English are needed for this role.
