Legal Counsel, Investments & Private Markets
An exciting role leading on the legal support for a growing private markets programme.
A major UK workplace pension provider is hiring a Legal Counsel to support its investment function as it increases its allocation to private markets. Reporting to the Head of Legal, you will be the main legal adviser to the CIO and investment team. You will lead on private markets and alternatives, negotiate fund documentation with asset managers and sponsors, advise on investment governance, and manage external counsel.
You will be a solicitor with significant PQE in funds, investment management, pensions or asset management, from private practice or in-house. Strong private assets experience and a good understanding of pension investment regulation are needed. Master Trust or trustee board experience would be useful. You will need to be self-sufficient and comfortable advising senior stakeholders on your own.
You will own the investment legal agenda, work directly with senior leadership and help shape how private markets are accessed in a large defined contribution scheme. Hybrid working is available.
