A premier, market-leading law firm is seeking a mid-level Fund Services Associate to join its highly regarded investment funds practice. This is an exceptional opportunity for an attorney who wants to work closely with top-tier venture capital and growth equity sponsors while taking on a leadership-oriented role within a collaborative, fast-growing team.
The Opportunity
You will advise sophisticated fund sponsors and investors throughout the entire fund life cycle, from formation and structuring through ongoing operations, regulatory compliance, and investor-side matters.

- Strong experience advising fund sponsors and investors
- Deep familiarity with investment funds regulatory frameworks
- Excellent academic credentials and superior written and verbal communication skills
- Admitted and in good standing in the relevant U.S. jurisdiction
Why This Role Stands Out
