JOB Title: Private Funds Lawyer – Top City Firm

LOCATION: London

SALARY: From £140,000 + Bonus

The private funds market is evolving, and this firm is at the forefront. With institutional investors demanding increasingly sophisticated structures, the team is looking for an associate to take on high-level fundraisings, navigate regulatory challenges, and advise leading asset managers.

This is not a back-office role. You’ll be leading on fund formations, negotiating high-value agreements, and working directly with clients ranging from private equity giants to emerging venture capital managers. The work is cross-border, spanning hybrid fund structures, evolving regulatory frameworks, and complex investment strategies.

With a lean team structure, you’ll have direct access to market-leading partners, real client exposure, and a clear path for progression. The firm’s training programme is widely regarded as best-in-class, ensuring rapid development for those who want to excel in this space.

If you have a minimum 1 PQE from a top-tier private funds practice or in-house at a private capital manager, this is a chance to take your career to the next level.
