Corporate Associate Attorney, Private Equity

Location: Connecticut / Florida / Massachusetts / New Jersey / New York, NY / Rhode Island / Washington, DC

Salary: Competitive

Advert Code: MLFS158

Corporate Associate, Private Equity / Investment Management (Confidential)

A sophisticated, growth-oriented law firm is seeking a Corporate Associate with a strong background in private equity and investment management to join its expanding transactional practice. This role is well-suited for an attorney who enjoys complex fund work, close client interaction, and building long-term expertise in the private funds space.

The Opportunity

You will work with experienced partners and collaborative teams on high-level matters involving private fund formation, regulatory compliance, and investment transactions. The practice advises investment managers, private equity sponsors, and institutional investors, offering exposure to a broad range of fund structures and strategic initiatives.

Core Responsibilities

• Advise investment managers on regulatory and compliance matters
• Form and structure open-end and closed-end private funds
• Draft and negotiate fund-related documentation, including limited partnership and operating agreements
• Prepare and review private placement memoranda, subscription documents, and side letters
• Counsel on investment management and sub-advisory agreements
• Support private equity, venture capital, joint venture, and related transactional matters
• Provide ongoing guidance to sponsors and managers on operational and compliance issues

Candidate Profile

• Juris Doctor (JD) required
• 3–6 years of relevant experience at a law firm, with a focus on private funds and investment management
• Demonstrated experience drafting sophisticated fund and investment management documents
• Familiarity with adviser regulatory frameworks and compliance obligations
• Strong written, analytical, and client-facing skills
• Admitted and in good standing in the jurisdiction of practice

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on sophisticated, market-facing private equity and fund matters
• Direct client exposure and meaningful responsibility
• A collaborative, team-driven culture with strong mentorship
• Clear runway for professional development and long-term growth
• Hybrid work model supporting both flexibility and in-person collaboration
