Funds Lawyer (non-fee-earning)

Overview

Newly Created Role – “Funds Team Manager”

Lead the training, development, recruitment, retention and day-to-day management of a talented cohort of paralegals, staff attorneys, and associates.

International Law Firm, London.

Are you at a point in your career where you no longer want to progress as a transactional lawyer? You’re not chasing partnership, but you love the law and would relish a role where you can help shape and develop other legal professionals in their own careers.

Our client, a forward-thinking global law firm, is redefining the future of legal work. With fresh perspectives and real momentum in their London Funds Group, this is your chance to play a leading role. You’ll collaborate with a supportive local HR team and work closely with a senior practice manager (a non-practicing funds lawyer), ensuring the team’s development, growth and success.

It’s coaching, process improvement, and much more. You’ll have free rein to establish and oversee the day-to-day administration and management of the paralegal cohort in London.

There’s also a technology element to the role. You’ll support partners in training associates and staff on workflows and processes, ensuring everyone is up to speed with new systems and technology.

This is a broad, varied, and rewarding opportunity – working as part of a firm globally recognised for its expertise in the funds space.

Why this firm?

• A people-first culture where every contribution matters.
• Flexibility that’s lived, not just promised.
• Genuine commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
• A firm where careers thrive because people feel valued.
• A global presence, yet a London team of 300 where collaboration is natural and partners know you by name.

What they’re looking for:

• Corporate lawyer with 3+ years of funds experience.
• A passion for developing people and shaping careers.
• Someone ready to take ownership and carve out a role that makes a real difference.

If you’re ready for a career-defining step where your impact will be felt and recognised, this could be the opportunity for you.
