Funds Solicitor

An international firm is offering a senior funds solicitor an exciting opportunity.

The successful candidate can be based in either London or Edinburgh, so the role might suit an exiled Scot looking to return home or a candidate from outwith who wants to work in the City. It is anticipated that the ideal candidate would be a private practice lawyer with at least 7 years’ experience of funds establishment and related work.

This is a wide-ranging role which will include a significant business development aspect, in addition to being a client-facing role. Duties will include:

• Drafting constitutional documentation, including limited partnership agreements, unit trust deeds and shareholder agreements
• Drafting and negotiating ancillary documentation, such as management agreements and administration agreements
• Advising on carried interest arrangements
• Reviewing marketing material and conducting verification exercises
• High level advice on UK financial regulation, as it relates to investment funds (specifically a familiarity with AIFMD and the UK's financial promotion regime)
• Negotiating fund documentation with investors and dealing with side letter requests
• Drafting LLP agreements, in relation to setting up new managers
• Dealing with offshore law firms and administrators
• Reviewing fund documentation for institutional investors and preparing user friendly reports
• Negotiating with fund counsel when acting for investors (either as cornerstone investor or as a minority investor), and ideally when acting for UK pension funds
• Discussing new funds with both start-up and experienced managers
