Join a growing funds and asset management team in the Middle East, with roles available in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The practice advises sponsors and investors on fund formation, structuring and related regulatory and compliance matters across regional and offshore domiciles.

The role focuses on fund structuring and formation work — drafting and negotiating fund documentation, coordinating closings and advising on investor-side investments, co-investments and bespoke managed-account structures. The team works across a wide range of asset classes and domiciles and has a strongly international, cross-border remit.

The firm offers formal training, career development and a supportive environment; the role is suited to an ambitious candidate seeking broad exposure to regional and international fund work.

  • 3–7 years post-qualification experience (PQE)
  • Strong technical knowledge of fund documentation (limited partnership agreements, PPMs, subscription agreements) and fund regulatory/compliance issues
  • Experience negotiating with investors and advising on fund investments, co-investments and bespoke structures
  • Practical experience with one or more fund domiciles (e.g. ADGM, DIFC, Cayman, Luxembourg, Delaware, Jersey/Guernsey)
  • Excellent academic record and relevant legal qualification; non‑English qualifications will be considered
  • Comfortable working on cross-border matters and multi-jurisdictional transactions; strong drafting and client-facing skills
