An Am Law 50 firm seeks a mid-level associate to join its Investment Management team, focusing primarily on private fund formation. The role will emphasize private equity, private credit, real estate and other real assets, entertainment and venture capital funds.

The team advises private fund sponsors on the formation and offering of U.S. and international pooled investment vehicles and bespoke fund-of-one arrangements, and counsels on new laws and regulations applicable to private funds and their managers. It also represents institutional investors in primary, secondary, and co-investment transactions, and advises investment advisory firms on operational matters including internal governance, investment adviser compliance, carried interest and co-investment arrangements, spinouts, GP stakes, secondaries, reorganizations, fund restructurings, and portfolio acquisitions and dispositions.

The position works closely with industry teams covering client portfolio assets—including private equity, real estate finance, EB-5 project finance, and consumer finance and fintech—offering the chance to develop specialized expertise. The firm emphasizes early and frequent direct client work, and this is an excellent opportunity to join a collegial office environment while working with experienced practitioners on sophisticated matters at a national level.
