General Counsel, Technology Investments, Qatar

We have partnered exclusively with an early stage, global technology investor who are seeking to grow a centralised shared services office in Doha, Qatar.

Their first need is a General Counsel, with a team to be built out underneath them.

The role will best suit an experienced, but not overly senior (10-15 PQE is a guideline) lawyer, perhaps one who is stepping into their first GC role, after a period in either private practice, or being 2ic in-house.

So why this role in particular?

• Interesting growth plans - the client is doing very well and this is the chance to join them at an important point.
• Broad spread of international work - whilst their remit is technology funds and investments, the job remit will be far wider.
• Clean slate - be their first proper GC and craft the roadmap for the future.

What you'll be doing:

• Advising on transactions and investments across funds, private equity, M&A, and VC.
• Handling general commercial issues on a day to day basis.
• Have international oversight across investments and investment partners worldwide.

Who you'll likely need to be in order to succeed:

• 10+ PQE from a common or civil law jurisdiction (EU lawyers very much encouraged).
• Broad spread of corporate and commercial work, ideally across investment or technology platforms.
• Previous Middle East experience is not needed and overseas applications are welcome, especially from western Europe.

We have a full job description to share and discuss with you, please get in touch.
