Mid-level associate role in a national fund formation practice. The hire will work on sponsor- and investor-side engagements across venture capital, growth equity, impact and crossover funds, handling formation documents, private placement materials, subscription agreements, side letters, and advisory committee governance.

  • Experience representing fund sponsors and/or institutional investors (limited partners)
  • Familiarity with venture/growth equity funds, co-investment and secondary structures, and relevant SEC/state regulatory frameworks
