Base Pay Range

$100,360.00/yr – $132,995.00/yr

Work Model

What You’ll Do

• Support attorneys on investment funds and private equity transactions
• Assist with secondary transaction reviews, including LP transfers and fund restructurings
• Prepare and file UCC financing statements
• Assist with SEC‑related filings, Blue Sky filings, and regulatory support
• Draft, review, and manage NDAs and transaction documents

• Prepare and maintain capitalization tables, stock and options ledgers
• Assist with entity formation, maintenance, and annual state filings
• Conduct due diligence and organize transactional documentation
• Liaise with internal teams, outside counsel, and third parties
• Maintain accurate records, calendars, and matter files

What They’re Looking For

• Investment management or investment funds paralegal experience
• Exposure to private equity secondaries strongly preferred
• Corporate transactional background
• Experience with UCC filings, closings, and fund‑related documentation
• Blue Sky experience is a major plus
• Strong tenure and employment stability
• Ability to manage multiple matters in a fast‑paced, deal‑driven environment
• Excellent organizational, communication, and attention‑to‑detail skills

Experience & Education

• 5+ years of relevant paralegal experience preferred
• Bachelor’s degree and/or paralegal certificate strongly preferred
• Candidates without a degree or certificate must have substantial, directly relevant experience

Compensation

• Hourly, non‑exempt role
• Competitive hourly rate with overtime eligibility
• Compensation varies based on experience and geographic market

Why This Role Stands Out

• Sophisticated investment management work
• Exposure to complex private equity and funds transactions
• Hourly pay with overtime
• Hybrid flexibility with potential remote consideration
• Long‑term stability and growth within a premier legal platform
