IMPORTANT: WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR
This is a law firm partner-level role.
You must be a practicing attorney currently working at a law firm with an established investment management / funds practice.

- Investment professionals
- Finance or private equity candidates
- In-house counsel without a portable book
- Associates or senior associates
About The Opportunity
We are partnering with a highly specialized law firm seeking an Investment Management / Funds Partner (Attorney) to join its growing platform.
This firm has built a dedicated investment management practice, where attorneys across fund formation, regulatory, transactional, and litigation disciplines focus exclusively on investment managers, fund sponsors, and financial institutions.
This is an ideal opportunity for a partner whose practice is centered on fund formation and sponsor representation, and who is looking for a platform with deep regulatory support and strong alignment across practices.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Partner, you will:
- Serve as lead outside counsel to investment managers and fund sponsors
- Advise on fund formation, including:
- Closed-end funds
- Hedge funds
- Private equity funds
- Credit funds / private credit strategies
- Counsel clients on fund structuring, economics, and regulatory frameworks
- Advise on ongoing fund operations, amendments, and investor matters
- Work closely with internal teams focused on SEC, CFTC, and financial regulatory matters
- Collaborate with attorneys across transactions and litigation within financial services
- Maintain and expand long-term client relationships
- Drive business development and practice growth
What We’re Looking For
We are specifically seeking candidates who have:
- 8+ years of experience as a licensed attorney in investment management / funds
- Current role as a law firm partner, counsel, or senior attorney with a portable practice
- Significant experience in closed-end fund formation and sponsor-side representation
- Experience advising hedge funds, private equity funds, and/or credit funds
- A portable book of business (typically $2M–$4M+ preferred, flexibility based on fit)
- Strong client relationships with investment managers and fund sponsors
- A practice focused on investment management (not general corporate work)
Nice to Have
- Experience with credit funds / private credit platforms
- Strong familiarity with middle-market fund sponsors
- Experience working closely with regulatory teams (SEC, CFTC)
Why This Role Stands Out
- Dedicated Investment Management practice (not part of general corporate)
- Deep regulatory bench with former SEC and CFTC professionals
- Strong positioning in credit funds and private credit markets
- Platform designed for sponsor-focused attorneys
- Collaborative structure across funds, regulatory, and transactional teams
- Strong support for lateral partner integration and growth
How The Process Works
If your background aligns, we’ll schedule a confidential discussion to review your current practice, book of business, and how this platform could support your growth.
