Associate Lawyer- Funds / Asset Management

US Law Firm | Funds / Asset Management Associate | London | Elite Comp

A top-tier US law firm in London is actively looking to hire a mid-level Associate (3–6 PQE) into its market-leading Funds / Asset Management practice.

The practice spans:

• Private equity, growth and venture
• Credit / direct lending
• Real assets (real estate, infrastructure, energy transition)
• Secondaries and special situations

Why this role stands out:

• Cravath-scale compensation + top-end bonus potential
• Exposure to complex, sponsor-led mandates at the top of the market
• Lean teams = early responsibility and direct partner access
• Clear trajectory for high performers within a US-driven meritocratic structure

The role:

You will be advising on the structuring, formation and ongoing operation of funds, working across jurisdictions with a highly commercial, execution-focused team.

You:

• 3–6 PQE (c. 2019–2022 qualified)
• Trained at / currently with a top-tier UK, US or international firm
• Strong experience in fund formation / asset management
• Technically strong, commercially sharp, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced US environment

This is a genuinely high-end move for a funds Associate looking to step into a US platform with elite comp and top-of-market work.
