A leading law firm's Investment Management Group is seeking a mid-level associate to advise registered investment companies and business development companies across the full lifecycle of structuring, offering, operation, financing, and regulatory compliance.

The group counsels funds, sponsors, underwriters, and service providers on closed-end funds, mutual funds, ETFs, and BDCs, including board-level corporate and regulatory advice.

Associates joining laterally participate in an enhanced mentor program addressing the unique needs of experienced attorneys in transition, alongside broader professional development offerings and a hybrid work model with defined in-office and remote periods. The firm maintains an extensive pro bono program that allows attorneys to devote, and receive credit for, time to causes of their choosing.

High level of academic achievement.
Prior experience in the investment management group of a peer firm preferred.
Admitted to practice law in the relevant jurisdiction (Illinois or New York).
