Job description

This is a rare opportunity to lead the relaunch of a private equity practice at a highly profitable, directories-ranked UK law firm. With a long-standing corporate pedigree, a strong bench of lawyers, and a client base that includes institutional investors and management teams, the firm is now investing in building a market-leading private equity offering in London.

The firm’s structure is built around corporate work. The managing partner is corporate-focused. The platform is profitable – over half the equity partners earn in excess of £1 million – and the firm operates a lockstep model. There is existing private equity work, and the firm has already made two high-quality junior partner hires in London. What’s missing is a senior private equity partner to lead the charge.

This is a leadership role with a title on offer. You’ll be joining a firm with a clear strategy to dominate the UK mid-market private equity space. The platform offers strength in depth across corporate, tax, finance, and funds, and the firm is committed to long-term investment in private capital.

If you’re a private equity lawyer looking for a UK firm with ambition, brand strength, and a collegiate culture – and you’re not convinced that a US firm is the only option – this could be the alternative.
