## Description

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.
