Title: Senior Litigation Counsel - KFO Legal Office

Compensation: $300,000 - $700,000 + Carry Participation, Equity & Performance Incentives

Overview

KFO Family Office is seeking a highly strategic, disciplined, and execution-oriented Senior Litigation Counsel to support a $1B+ litigation and asset recovery campaign, overseeing complex disputes, enterprise enforcement strategy, fiduciary litigation, and high-stakes legal operations across KFO’s multi-fund ecosystem spanning hedge funds that include venture platforms, private equity, strategic partnerships, as well as philanthropic initiatives.

This role reports directly to executive leadership and serves as a senior litigation authority responsible for dispute strategy, litigation oversight, asset recovery coordination, enterprise defense, investigative legal operations, and complex multi-jurisdictional legal matters across all KFO entities and affiliated operations.

Must be able to represent in Virginia.

• Assist in developing internal legal systems, litigation procedures, and operational governance frameworks across all KFO entities

• Experience supporting or working on $1B+ litigation, fund, or enterprise-scale legal matters strongly preferred
• Exceptional negotiation, analytical, and executive communication skills
