The Investment Fund group is a part of the 9 partner, 43 lawyer financial institutions group within Lovells responsible for advising banks, asset managers and insurance groups on multiple legal and regulatory matters. The financial institutions group is well known as a leader in this field, for example, having won the "insurance firm of the year" award at the recent Who's Who legal awards.

The Investment Fund team within the group advises on all aspects of investment funds and pooled investment, from the initial structuring of a vehicle, to the legal, regulatory and tax aspects of establishing a fund and then on an ongoing basis advising in relation to its operation and promotion. The team is particularly well known for its expertise across a wide range of investment products. Work includes both retail and institutional products, both onshore and offshore products and open and closed ended funds. We set up funds in the UK and other EU jurisdictions such as Luxembourg and Ireland, and in offshore centres such as Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and the Channel Islands. We are involved in funds investing in equities in both developed and developing markets, and funds investing in private equity, projects and PFI and commodities, real estate, debt, and other asset classes. We are also very active in the hedge fund sector. The group also handles investment trust work and other listed funds.

The successful candidate will have approximately 18 months funds experience, gained in another top 20 firm, and/or by working in-house and will be attracted to work for us for the diversity and quality of work and clear progression that the group offers.

It is the policy of the firm to provide equal opportunities for all employees in relation to recruitment, training and promotion. Decisions in these areas will be made only in reference to the requirements of the job and shall not be influenced by any consideration of ethnic origin, religion, sex, age etc.
