  • Executive and Board-level visibility;

The Company

Our client is a listed investment platform and established funds management business.

Following a period of strategic repositioning, the organisation is entering a new phase of growth and capital deployment across its investment platform.

Working closely with the CLCO, the successful candidate will operate as a trusted internal adviser across multiple parts of the business, helping manage transactions, guide internal stakeholders and support the evolution of the legal function.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting corporate transactions and capital activity across the investment platform
  • Advising on fund structures and fund establishment
  • Assisting with corporate actions, restructures and equity transactions
  • Coordinating listed disclosure obligations and market announcementsAdvising the executive team on strategic legal issues and risk management
  • Managing internal workstreams during transactions and coordinating external advisers where required

About You

You are a senior funds / corporate lawyer that enjoys working closely with the business and using your legal skills in a practical way.

You are likely to bring:

  • ~15 PQE;
  • Strong funds management and/or corporate transactions experience;
  • Experience advising on complex corporate structures or capital transactions;
  • Familiarity with listed environments, disclosure obligations or governance frameworks (not essential).
