Antitrust Attorney
BCL Legal 4.1
Legal extern job in New York, NY
A leading New York transactional antitrust team is hiring mid level associates as deal volume and complexity continue to surge.
This role sits directly inside one of the most active and sophisticated M & A platforms in the market. Associates advise on marquee domestic and cross border transactions for major corporates and top tier private equity sponsors. Deal flow is constant, high value, and genuinely strategic, with frequent exposure to multi billion dollar matters and parallel global filings.
What makes this opportunity compelling is both calibre and momentum. The antitrust practice has grown rapidly alongside a powerhouse M & A engine, and demand continues to outpace capacity. Associates build exceptional deal sheets early, working on core transactions rather than ancillary work.
The team culture is a standout. Partners are hands on and accessible, staffing is lean, and associates are trusted with meaningful responsibility. Collaboration is the norm, not the exception, and lawyers are encouraged to develop commercially as well as technically.
This is a platform built for lawyers who want to grow. The firm invests heavily in its people, its practices, and its long term strategy. Compensation and benefits are at the very top of the New York market.
The role is aimed at:
• 3 to 7 year associates focused on transactional antitrust and M & A

• Strong academic backgrounds, including a JD GPA of 3.4 or higher
• Lawyers who value quality, teamwork, and long term development

Investment Funds Associate - Private Funds (New York)
Leading International Law Firm
Wicker Hamilton is working with a leading international law firm to recruit a high-calibre Investment Funds Associate to join its top-tier private funds practice in New York. This is an outstanding opportunity for a funds lawyer who wants exposure to market-leading sponsor work, meaningful client contact, and a genuinely broad private funds platform.
The role is designed for associates who enjoy being close to the commercial decision-making process and who want to build a long-term career advising sophisticated fund managers and institutional investors.
The Opportunity
The successful candidate will advise established and emerging fund sponsors on the formation, structuring, and operation of private investment funds across a range of strategies, including private equity, credit, real estate, and alternative assets.
You will work closely with senior partners and directly with fund principals, handling the full lifecycle of funds work-from initial structuring and fundraising through to ongoing operational, regulatory, and investor-facing matters.
This is a highly visible role within the practice, offering early responsibility, strong mentorship, and consistent exposure to complex, high-value mandates.
Key Responsibilities
Advise sponsors on the formation and structuring of private investment funds and related vehicles

Build long-term client relationships through direct partner and client interaction
Candidate Profile
4-8 years' post-JD experience in investment funds / private funds work at a leading law firm
Strong experience in private fund formation and sponsor-side advisory work
Exposure to GP and LP matters highly desirable
Excellent drafting, negotiation, and client-facing skills
Commercially minded with the ability to manage matters independently as seniority increases
Admitted to the New York Bar (or eligible to waive in)
Strong academic credentials and a collaborative working style
Why This Role Stands Out
High-quality sponsor-side funds practice with repeat institutional clients
Direct access to partners and fund principals
Broad asset class exposure rather than a narrow product focus
Clear runway for progression within a well-established funds platform
Collegial, supportive culture with genuine investment in associate development
Compensation
Highly competitive New York market compensation, expected to range from $275,000 to $435,000 base, depending on class year and experience, plus discretionary bonus and comprehensive benefits.
