Senior Funds Associate, New York (fully remote option) Many senior funds lawyers at top firms have the same frustration. They know the work inside out, and they're the person sponsors actually call, but they're still one name among many on someone else's fund launch, with a career path set by tenure rather than by what they build. This confidential opportunity is for a funds lawyer ready to step into real ownership. My client is a fast-growing corporate law firm founded by attorneys who trained in Big Law. It runs on a modern, digital-native model: lean teams, smart technology and partners who are close to the work. The firm advises venture capital, private credit and private equity sponsors. Its funds practice is central to that work and ties in closely with its finance and emerging companies teams. You'd work directly with sponsors and partners across the full fund lifecycle: Forming venture capital, private credit and private equity funds, and their GPs and management companies Drafting and negotiating LPAs, PPMs, subscription documents and side letters, including tracking MFN elections Structuring parallel and feeder funds, blockers, co-investment vehicles and bankruptcy-remote SPVs for warehouse and forward flow programs Advising on Regulation D, the Investment Company Act 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) exclusions, and Investment Advisers Act exemptions Handling capital calls, transfers, amendments and successor fund launches Why This Senior Funds Associate is worth a conversation Ownership. You'd be the sponsors' trusted adviser rather than a step in the review chain. Earnings that track your contribution. Base pay is at or above the Cravath scale. On top of that, monthly bonuses reward leading closings and developing clients. An entrepreneurial culture. The firm backs lawyers who want to grow relationships and build a practice, without internal politics in the way. How you work. You can be fully remote, and there's a New York office when you want it. The firm also gives you a technology budget, full medical, dental and vision cover, a 401(k) match and paid parental leave. What you'll bring 8+ years of investment funds experience at a leading firm, ideally 9th/10th year Hands-on fund formation and investor negotiation experience Working knowledge of the Securities Act, Investment Company Act and Investment Advisers Act US bar admission, with New York preferred Exposure to private credit funds, SPVs, GP economics or carry is a bonus Compensation: a base salary of $425,000-$440,000+, plus monthly deal and origination bonuses.
