Senior Legal Counsel, Investment Management
We have partnered exclusively with a global asset and investment manager to hire a Senior Legal Counsel into their Abu Dhabi office. This client works with global investors, carrying multi-million or multi-billion dollar deals, all over the globe.
So why this role in particular
- The work quality is peerless in the market.
- Global deals, not domestic Middle East.
- Extremely strong reputational client that rarely recruits, this is a unique opportunity.
- Compensation is in line with the best.
What you'll be doing:
- Working with a top tier team of legal, risk, compliance and investment professionals worldwide.
- Supporting all internal business units across legal.
- Overseeing high value investment deals, drafting and negotiating complex corporate and funds documentation and the associated risks within.
- Relationship management across co-investors, partnerships, overseas offices and outside counsel.
Who you'll likely need to be in order to succeed:
- 6-10 PQE Common Law qualified with experience from a sophisticated financial services market (London, New York, Singapore).
- A top tier law firm background is essential (likely White Shoe / Magic Circle), with additional in-house being helpful.
- Strong blended skill set that covers corporate, private equity, funds, asset and investment management.
- Those based in the Gulf right now will be prioritised, but overseas applications are welcome.
