Our fast-growing and dynamic Miami Corporate Practice is seeking a junior to mid-level associate to join our fund formation and investment management team.

Practice Summary

The fund formation and investment management team focuses on meeting the needs of private equity, venture capital, and hedge fund managers, first and foremost, by assisting our sponsor clients in forming and structuring (i) their respective GP and management company entities, and (ii) the investment funds and other alternative investment vehicles that they manage, or, on the investor side, by representing them in side letter negotiations and advising on various investment opportunities with third party managers. Clients also ask us to manage their fundraising processes, help them comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, and advise them in connection with their day-to-day legal needs.

From raising capital to client counseling to implementing best practices, our cumulative experience is compelling and our commitment to service is our top priority.

Job Requirements

The ideal candidate would be a junior to mid-level associate and have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 years of experience in a large law firm setting.

Depending on the level of experience, candidates will be expected to understand the basics of fund economics and be able to coherently draft related language in fund agreements (or be motivated to learn to do so).
