We have been instructed on a new unique opportunity to join one of the most highly-regarded funds teams in the Middle East. You will work in the Dubai office which is strategically placed to serve clients in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, and you will gain exposure to some of the most exciting and cutting-edge funds work in these regions.
A main focus of the role will be on fund formation, which will involve advice on fund structuring, preparing fund documentation, negotiating fund documentation with investors, and co-ordinating fund closings. In addition, the role is likely to involve research on local fund regulations, advice to investors considering fund investments, participation in client pitches and other business development activities.
The successful candidate will be UK qualified and should have around 1 to 3 years’ PQE. The candidate should also have good quality recent experience in fund formation, whilst those with experience of acting for investors in funds will also be considered. Newly qualified candidates will be considered but they must have significant fund formation and additional private equity / secondary investment experience.
Strong academics together with training and post-qualification experience from a leading international firm are essential.
The position also offers an attractive financial package (plus relocation) that will be tax-free in Dubai, as well as the opportunity to play an integral part in what is a key practice area for this firm.
