Job Description
Fund Formation Attorney – New York City Hybrid
I’m working with a leading Am Law firm that is looking to add a 2nd–7th year Fund Formation Attorney to its New York team.
This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone already working within a sophisticated private funds practice who wants to continue doing high-end fund formation work on a top national platform, with an excellent compensation package and hybrid flexibility.
The practice represents both fund sponsors and investors across a range of private investment fund matters, and they're looking for someone who has already had meaningful exposure to fund formation transactions.
What are they looking for?
Ideally, you'll have 2–7 years of private investment fund formation experience, including exposure to:
- Representing sponsors and investors in private investment funds
- Fund formation transactions
- GP and management company / sponsor-level transactions
- Secondary transactions involving LP and/or portfolio company interests
They're particularly interested in attorneys who have trained within the corporate practice of a strong national or international law firm and have excellent academic credentials.
Why consider it?
For me, the attraction here is fairly straightforward: sophisticated funds work, an excellent platform and top-of-market compensation, without giving up hybrid flexibility.
It's an opportunity to work with high-quality clients on complex transactions while continuing to develop within a well-established private funds practice.
Compensation is expected to be $235,000–$420,000, depending on seniority and experience, alongside a comprehensive benefits package.
Location: New York City
Working arrangement: Hybrid
Experience: 2nd–7th year
Practice: Private Funds / Fund Formation
Salary: $235,000–$420,000
You don't need to be actively looking to have a conversation. If you're already working in private funds and would be interested to see how your current platform compares, I'm happy to share more details confidentially.
If you'd prefer to speak directly, call me on 332 777 6411. I appreciate that as a busy attorney, finding time for a conversation during the working day isn't always straightforward.
