GOTOfreedom consultant’s point of view
This is a particularly attractive opportunity for a transactional lawyer looking to gain buy-side exposure and work closer to investment professionals while remaining deeply involved in complex international deals.
The 12-month fixed-term contract is transparent from the outset, but the value of the assignment lies in the breadth of exposure: multiple alternative asset classes, direct interaction with investment teams, meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to build a strong commercial in-house perspective.
