Lateral Associate – Asset Management (NY)

We are seeking a mid-level to senior associate to join our M&A, Private Equity, and Investment Funds teams, focusing on asset manager M&A, GP stakes, and seed investments. The role involves advising asset managers, sponsors, GP stakes funds, and institutional investors on acquisitions and dispositions of asset management businesses, minority and GP stake investments, seed and revenue-share arrangements, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, and other similar transactions, as well as general corporate matters.

Candidates must have significant experience handling M&A transactions, a strong understanding of corporate law and market terms, and substantial experience in drafting transaction documents and managing deals effectively. Prior experience with asset manager M&A and GP stakes transactions is a plus but not required; candidates with a strong M&A and/or private equity background who are interested in retooling toward this space are encouraged to apply.

Significant direct client contact is expected, offering a great opportunity for entrepreneurial associates to develop client relationships and manage matters with independence.
