Job description

A leading global law firm is seeking a Secondaries-focused Associate to join its expanding Investment Funds practice, with opportunities available in New York, San Francisco, or Washington, D.C.

Experience structuring transactions such as single-asset continuations, stapled primaries, tender offers, and co-investment syndications is essential, along with advising secondary buyers and sellers on pricing, market standards, and liquidity strategies.
