    Job Description

    Job DescriptionAscension Global Staffing & Executive Search, a Hispanic Women Owned & Operated National Recruiting Firm stands at the forefront of innovation and excellence. Led by a visionary team with a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion, our firm is dedicated to identifying and attracting top talent across the nation. With a unique blend of cultural insight and professional expertise, we pride ourselves on creating an environment that fosters success for both employers and candidates.

    Our Am Law top 50 law firm client's fast-growing and dynamic Miami Corporate Practice is seeking a junior to mid-level associate to join our fund formation and investment management team. This position can be filled in the Miami or Chicago 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 our client's firm they focus on the business objectives of their clients and believe that no other law firm offers corporate clients the combined benefits of local presence and global resources that they do. From raising capital to client counseling to implementing best practices, their cumulative experience is compelling and their commitment to service is their top priority.

    Job Requirements

    The ideal candidate would be a junior to mid-level associate and have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 years of experience in a large law firm setting. Candidates should have some experience with fund formation and investment adviser work and a genuine interest in practicing as a private funds lawyer. In addition, candidates should be willing and able to take on responsibility, multi-task, and work in a fast-paced environment. Candidates should have a strong academic history and excellent written and verbal communication skills; they should also be highly detail-oriented. At least a basic understanding of entity types from a tax perspective is helpful, as is an understanding of the fundamental elements of the Federal securities laws (i.e., the '33 Act, the '34 Act, the Investment Company Act, and the Investment Advisers Act) as they relate to the business of private fund managers. Depending on the level of experience, candidates will be expected to understand the basics of fund economics and be able to coherently draft related language in fund agreements (or be motivated to learn to do so). Candidates must either be admitted to practice in the jurisdiction in which they are applying or eligible for admission. Candidates should specify office location preference in the application.
