Inhouse Counsel (Asset Management)

The Role

As Legal Counsel, you will work closely with senior legal leadership, compliance colleagues, and investment professionals on a wide range of matters, including:

• Legal and regulatory support for investment activities across multiple jurisdictions
• Portfolio‑related legal, governance, and structuring issues
• Supporting new mandates and evolving strategies where precedents may not yet exist
• Working with external counsel across Asia and internationally
• Contributing to the development of internal legal and compliance frameworks as the platform grows

What We're Looking For

This role is less about having done a specific type of deal, and more about how you think and work.

We are keen to speak with lawyers who are:

• Adaptable and quick to learn, comfortable picking up new areas of law or unfamiliar situations
• Curious and creative, able to think beyond templates and market conventions
• Strong communicators, able to explain issues clearly and practically to non-lawyers
• Team‑oriented, collaborative, and comfortable working in a small, trusted legal function
• Long‑term minded, looking to grow with a platform rather than move frequently

Background & Experience

• Qualified lawyer with approximately 3-6 years' PQE
• Background may include:
• Top‑tier or strong international private practice
• In‑house roles within investment, corporate, or complex commercial environments
• Prior buy‑side experience is helpful but not required
• Exposure to Asia‑related matters is a plus, but Chinese language skills are not required
• Open to candidates with international backgrounds

Why This Role?

• Broad exposure rather than a siloed legal remit
• Close interaction with senior stakeholders and decision‑makers
• A culture that values judgement, learning, and long‑term thinking
• Opportunity to grow alongside a stable, long‑term investment platform
