A highly regarded, nationally ranked full-service law firm is actively seeking a senior Investment Funds Attorney (10 years) to join its sophisticated corporate and private investment platform.

Key highlights include:

• High-level work in private fund formation, structuring, compliance, and investment management
• Broad exposure to:
• Private equity funds
• Venture capital funds
• Hedge funds
• Real estate funds
• Credit funds
• Regulatory and operational compliance
• Opportunity to work directly with sophisticated clients in a more entrepreneurial, collaborative setting
• Strong internal infrastructure with national platform support
• this opportunity can be based out of any of the firm's offices in various locations along the East Coast and Texas.
• Competitive compensation structure commensurate with experience
• Comprehensive benefits package

Ideal Candidate Profile

• BigLaw / AmLaw

• Fund formation
• Sponsor-side structuring
• Securities and regulatory compliance
• Investment adviser matters
• Investor negotiations
• Excellent academic credentials
• Strong communication and leadership capabilities
• Portable business is welcomed but not required

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not simply another lateral move.

This platform offers the opportunity to:

• Escape unnecessary bureaucracy
• Maintain highly sophisticated practice quality
• Gain greater client intimacy and autonomy
• Position yourself for strategic leadership
• Build or expand your long-term practice on a respected national stage

For senior attorneys seeking the next evolution of their practice, this role offers a compelling balance of prestige, flexibility, sophistication, and future upside.
