Legal Counsel - Venture Capital
London
Astral Legal is working with a leading Venture Capital firm looking to appoint a Legal Counsel to join its London team.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly regarded investment business in a broad role spanning venture capital transactions, funds, corporate and governance matters.
The Role
Working closely with investment professionals and senior stakeholders across the business, you will provide legal support across the firm's investment activities and wider corporate matters.
The role will include:
- Advising on venture capital investments and transactions
- Supporting on fund-related legal matters
- Advising on broader corporate transactions and projects
- Supporting the business on corporate governance matters
- Working closely with investment teams and other internal stakeholders
- Managing external counsel where appropriate
- Providing practical and commercially focused legal advice across the business
The breadth of the position makes this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within the Venture Capital and wider private markets space, while gaining exposure to both transactional and broader in-house legal work.
The Candidate
The firm is interested in speaking with lawyers (3-6 PQE) with strong experience across corporate/M&A, venture capital, private equity, investment funds or related transactional work.
You are likely to have trained within a well-regarded law firm or gained relevant experience within an investment management or financial services business.
You don't need to have covered every aspect of the role previously. Strong legal training, relevant transactional or funds experience, commercial judgement and an interest in the Venture Capital market will all be important.
The Opportunity
This is a chance to join a growing and sophisticated investment business in a role offering considerably more breadth than a traditional transactional legal position.
You'll have the opportunity to work closely with the people making investment decisions, gain exposure across VC transactions, funds and corporate matters, and play an important role within the firm's wider legal function.
