About our client

Our client, a global leading venture capital fund, is currently seeking to hire a Legal Counsel for its London team. The fund, which invests across multiple technology sectors, has been on a phenomenal growth phase over the past five years and are not slowing down. The business is currently planning to double down on its best performing strategies along with launching a number of new ones in the near future. The firm has a global presence with multiple offices and is very well regarded in its sector. Due to this continued growth, the firm is now looking to make the addition of a mid-level venture capital lawyer to its London team to predominately focus on transactions. What the job involves

This is a fantastic and rare opportunity for a mid-level lawyer with significant venture capital investment transaction experience, gained either in private practice or in-house, who is looking to take the next step in their career and join an industry leader.

• Review, negotiate, and manage investment and transaction documentation
• Support portfolio company matters, including follow-on financings, M&A and exits
