Job Description

Senior Legal Counsel, Investment Management
We have partnered exclusively with a global asset and investment manager to hire a Senior Legal Counsel into their Abu Dhabi office. This client works with global investors, carrying multi-million or multi-billion dollar deals, all over the globe.
So why this role in particular?
The work quality is peerless in the market.
Global deals, not domestic Middle East.
Extremely strong reputational client that rarely recruits, this is a unique opportunity.
Compensation is in line with the best.
What you'll be doing:
Working with a top tier team of legal, risk, compliance and investment professionals worldwide.
Supporting all internal business units across legal.
Overseeing high value investment deals, drafting and negotiating complex corporate and funds documentation and the associated risks within.
Relationship management across co-investors, partnerships, overseas offices and outside counsel.
Who you'll likely need to be in order to succeed:
6-10 PQE Common Law qualified with experience from a sophisticated financial services market (London, New York, Singapore).
A top tier law firm background is essential (likely White Shoe / Magic Circle), with additional in-house being helpful.
Strong blended skill set that covers corporate, private equity, funds, asset and investment management.
Those based in the Gulf right now will be prioritised, but overseas applications are welcome.
If you're interested in discussing, please do get in touch.
