A boutique investment and private equity firm is looking to appoint an Interim Legal Counsel for an initial 6 month assignment, with potential for extension or longer-term opportunities thereafter.
The role sits within a lean, highly involved legal team where lawyers are closely embedded in transactions and investment activity rather than purely managing external counsel. This is a hands‑on position suited to someone who enjoys operating close to the business and taking ownership of execution work directly.
The successful candidate is likely to have around 4 PQE, although strong candidates outside of this range will still be considered.
Key areas of focus are expected to include:
- Funds work and investor‑related matters
- Corporate and M&A transactions
- Drafting and negotiation of transaction documentation
- Supporting deal execution from start to finish
- Working closely with investment professionals and senior stakeholders
- Managing external counsel where appropriate whilst remaining actively involved in the detail
The environment is fast‑paced, collegiate and highly commercial, making this well suited to someone comfortable operating within a lean team structure.
Experience within private equity, investment management, alternative investments or broader financial services environments would be particularly relevant.
The role is primarily office‑based in St James’s, London.
