Corporate Legal Counsel | (2–4 PQE) | Global Investment Platform | London/Hybrid
About the Company
I’m working with a fast-growing, international alternative investment group (c. €10bn+ AUM) looking to hire a junior corporate lawyer (2+ PQE) into their London legal team. This is a standout opportunity for a strong corporate M&A associate who wants to move in-house into a broad, commercially focused role with genuine international exposure.
About the Role
You’ll report directly to a highly regarded General Counsel and work across a lean, high-performing legal team, supporting the business globally.
Responsibilities
- Supporting on M&A / investment transactions
- Drafting & negotiating:
- Shareholder agreements
- JV agreements
- Commercial / asset management contracts
- Advising the business on corporate governance and structuring
- Supporting on new products, fund activity and strategic projects
- Acting as a key legal partner to stakeholders across Europe & the US
This is not a pure transactional role: you’ll gain exposure across advisory, commercial and operational legal work.
Qualifications
- 2–4 PQE (England & Wales qualified)
Required Skills
- Strong background in corporate M&A (ideally from a leading firm)
- Commercial, proactive mindset
- Interested in moving into a broad, business-facing in-house role
Preferred Skills
- Exposure to private equity, funds, or real assets is beneficial but not essential.
If you’re a corporate associate considering your first in-house move and want something broader and more commercial than a traditional legal role, I’d be happy to share more details. Please reach out or apply directly.
