About the Opportunity

A Chambers-ranked, mid-sized firm with national strength in tax and investment funds work is seeking a Partner-level attorney to join its Investment Management practice. This is a confidential lateral search for someone with a strong background in fund formation and ongoing fund counsel, joining a group with an active, sophisticated client base, meaningful international reach across Ireland, the UK, France, and Italy, and room for continued growth.

• Fund formation across a range of investment vehicle types, including cross-border structures
• Ongoing portfolio management and regulatory counsel for fund clients, including international matters spanning Ireland, the UK, France, and Italy
• Business development and client relationship management
• Collaboration with the firm's broader corporate, securities, and regulatory teams

What We're Looking For

• Current book of business in the $1M–$5M range (does not need to be at the top end of that range)
• Deep substantive experience in investment funds law — formation, structuring, and regulatory compliance
• Demonstrated ability to originate and grow client relationships, not just execute on existing matters
• Partner-level standing (or associate/counsel-level candidates with a clear, imminent path to partnership and portable business will also be considered)
• Comfortable working across a distributed, multi-office platform

What the Firm Offers

• A collaborative, established Investment Management group with strong internal referral flow
• Platform support to grow an existing book rather than build one from scratch
• Flexibility on office location among the markets listed above
