Legal Counsel, Investment Management

We have partnered exclusively with a global asset and investment manager to hire a 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. The role is intended to be a relatively junior position, supporting a wide team across commercial work and large deals. 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 and governance. · A wide range of corporate support and assisting transactional deals. · Relationship management across co-investors, partnerships, overseas offices and outside counsel. Who you’ll likely need to be in order to succeed: · 2-4 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 general commercial, corporate operations and governance, with transactional deal experience being helpful. · Those based in the Gulf right now will be prioritised, but overseas applications are welcome. If you’re interested in discussing, please do get in touch. Job reference: 072026-294292 Show more Show less
