Position overview:
Prime Advocates is looking for a bright and commercially gifted lawyer, with good organisational skills and an inquisitive entrepreneurial mind. The role requires that the successful candidate is able to work semi-autonomously with our clients' senior management, yet remain a team player. This role offers a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer with good commercial equity finance, funds or ISDA experience to step up to the next level and advise businesses at a strategic and fundamental level. Also your role will have "meaning" and impact as you accelerate the Social Finance sector and help Social Enterprise be more impactful. The role may be structured as full time or part time depending on the successful candidate's outside commitments. Some experience of Social Finance, Impact Investment or Social Entrepreneurship would assist the candidate, but not is required and will be learned on the job.
Reporting to the Managing Director of Prime Advocates and working closely with the CEOs and CFOs of Funds, Banks, Corporates and the Foundation – we are looking for a lawyer with confidence and leadership attributes (but with a strong team player pedigree).
Successful candidates should demonstrate the following attributes:
- A UK qualified lawyer having trained at a international law firm or bank with a passion or interest in Social Finance/ Impact Investment and Hedge Fund;
- Over 2 years direct experience leading prominent ISDA documentation, CSA, GMRA and GMSLA documentation. We assume the candidate is looking for an opportunity to develop their role and broaden their experience; and
- Expertise conducting the negotiation of legal agreements and the development of relationships with major banks/ funds/ trading counterparties and social enterprises.
The role is anticipated to encompass:
- Transaction management;
- Advising external clients to ensure full legal understanding of the process and procedures used to launch and operate the relevant fund or Social investment transaction;
- Support on our international strategic consultancy projects with international NGOs (eg, UNFPA, One Drop Foundation) or template drafting with our panel of leading international law firms;
- Support with brand development and participation on beauty parades.
