Wicker Hamilton
Legal extern job in New York, NY
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
Draft and negotiate fund documentation, including LPAs, subscription agreements, side letters, and operating agreements
Represent fund sponsors and, where relevant, institutional investors on fund investments and negotiations
Advise on ongoing fund operational and governance matters
Work across both GP and LP-side issues, providing commercially pragmatic advice
Collaborate with tax, regulatory, and transactional teams on integrated matters
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.
