Head of Legal

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Head of Legal to join a growing private markets investment business. Working closely with senior leadership and investment professionals, the successful candidate will play a central role in supporting the firm's investment activities, strategic initiatives and continued growth.

This is a broad, commercially focused role with responsibility for advising on a wide range of legal matters across investments, fundraising, governance, regulatory issues and corporate affairs. Operating in a lean, high-performing environment, the successful individual will be expected to combine strategic judgement with hands-on execution, acting as a trusted adviser on matters critical to the business.

We are particularly interested in lawyers with significant private equity and transactional experience , ideally gained within private equity, venture capital, growth equity, private credit or a broader private markets environment. Candidates are likely to be operating as a Head of Legal or in a senior legal position within an investment platform, asset manager or alternative investments business. Strong private practice candidates with relevant sector expertise will also be considered.

The role requires an individual with a proven track record of leading complex transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, co-investments, financings and other sophisticated investment structures. Experience of fund formation, fundraising, investor negotiations and the wider private funds landscape would be advantageous, although exceptional transactional lawyers with a strong private markets background are encouraged to apply.

This opportunity would suit a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys working closely with decisionmakers, navigating complex challenges and contributing to the strategic direction of a growing investment platform. Strong judgement, pragmatism and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment will be essential.
