Our fast-growing and dynamic Miami Corporate Practice is seeking a senior level associate to join our fund formation and investment management team. This position can be filled in the Miami, Chicago or New York office.
Practice Summary
The fund formation and investment management team focuses on meeting the needs of private equity, venture capital, and hedge fund managers, first and foremost, by assisting our sponsor clients in forming and structuring (i) their respective GP and management company entities, and (ii) the investment funds and other alternative investment vehicles that they manage, or, on the investor side, by representing them in side letter negotiations and advising on various investment opportunities with third party managers. Clients also ask us to manage their fundraising processes, help them comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, and advise them in connection with their day-to-day legal needs.
At GT we focus on the business objectives of our clients and believe that no other law firm offers corporate clients the combined benefits of local presence and global resources that we do. From raising capital to client counseling to implementing best practices, our cumulative experience is compelling and our commitment to service is our top priority.
