Position overview

Our client is seeking a mid-level to senior associate with 4–8 years of experience to join its M&A, Private Equity and Investment Funds teams in New York City. The practice focuses on asset manager M&A, GP stakes, seed investments and related transactions, and offers substantial responsibility and direct client contact.

The Work

  • Advise asset managers, sponsors, GP stakes funds and institutional investors on acquisitions and dispositions of asset management businesses.
  • Represent investors and companies in minority investments and GP stakes transactions, including negotiating and documenting transaction terms.
  • Structure and execute seed investments and revenue-share arrangements for asset management businesses.
  • Work on strategic partnerships, joint ventures and other similar transactions, coordinating deal execution through closing.
  • Draft transaction documents and manage matters from initial structuring and negotiation through completion.
  • Handle general corporate matters for clients and develop direct client relationships through frequent client contact and independent matter management.

What You Bring

  • Four to eight years of experience, with candidates at the mid-level to senior associate stage encouraged to apply.
  • Significant experience handling M&A transactions and a strong understanding of corporate law and market terms.
  • Substantial experience drafting transaction documents and managing deal processes effectively.
  • Strong M&A and/or private equity background; prior asset manager M&A or GP stakes experience is a plus but is not required.
  • Ability to take on significant responsibility, work with autonomy and manage matters with limited supervision.
  • Driven, business development-oriented approach and interest in building relationships with clients.
  • Juris Doctor and admission to practice in the applicable jurisdiction.

Why Consider It
