(Senior) Legal Counsel - Private Equity | London
Join one of the market's most active private equity investors.
An exceptional opportunity has arisen to join the in-house legal team of a highly respected international private markets investor with a strong track record across complex acquisitions, carve-outs, corporate transformations and special situations. This is a business that has built an outstanding reputation for executing sophisticated transactions across Europe and beyond, offering lawyers genuine exposure to high-value, strategically significant deals.
Unlike many in-house legal roles, this position is almost entirely transactional, placing you at the centre of investment activity and giving you the opportunity to work alongside senior investment professionals on acquisitions, disposals and portfolio investments from inception through to completion.
This is an environment where legal is viewed as a genuine commercial partner, not simply a support function.
You’ll become an integral member of a collaborative and high-performing legal team, working closely with investment professionals on complex domestic and cross-border transactions. Depending on the deal, you’ll either manage leading external counsel or lead matters internally, providing genuine ownership and responsibility from day one.
We’re interested in speaking with England & Wales qualified lawyers who have approximately 5-8 years' PQE gained within a leading Corporate M&A or Private Equity practice, or from a comparable in-house environment.
Opportunities of this nature are rare.
You’ll join an established legal function where lawyers are embedded within the deal teams, receive significant responsibility from the outset and benefit from exceptional mentoring and career development. The business continues to invest heavily across private markets internationally, creating long-term progression opportunities for ambitious transactional lawyers.
If you’re currently in private practice and looking to make your first move in-house-or you’re already in-house and want broader transactional exposure within a highly active investor-this represents one of the strongest opportunities currently available in the London market.
