Location: New York, NY / Washington, DC

Salary: $310K – $390K

Advert Code: MLFS140

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. The practice is known for its depth in venture and growth equity funds and offers substantial client exposure, intellectual rigor, and long-term career development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Structure, form, and advise on the operation of private investment funds
  • Counsel sponsors on legal, regulatory, and compliance matters under U.S. securities laws
  • Advise on issues arising under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, Investment Company Act, and Investment Advisers Act
  • Represent institutional and private investors in connection with investments in private funds
  • Support clients on fund governance, regulatory strategy, and operational considerations
  • Take a visible role in client relationships and contribute to practice growth

Candidate Profile

  • Juris Doctor (JD) required
  • 4–6 years of relevant experience at a law firm, with a focus on fund formation and fund services
  • 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

  • Work with leading venture capital and growth equity platforms
  • Significant responsibility and leadership opportunities at the associate level
  • Collaborative, client-focused culture with strong mentorship
  • Competitive compensation with performance-based upside
  • Robust benefits and flexibility designed to support long-term career sustainability
