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 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.

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.
