A global investment platform with over £10bn AUM is 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.

You’ll report directly to a highly regarded General Counsel and work across a lean, high-performing legal team, supporting the business globally.

  • Shareholder agreements, JV agreements and commercial/asset management contracts
  • Supporting on new products, fund activity and strategic projects
  • Acting as a key legal partner to stakeholders across Europe and the US

This is not a pure transactional role: you’ll gain exposure across advisory, commercial and operational legal work.

A commercial, proactive mindset is essential. 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.
