Funds Lawyer

Global law firm based in Dubai is seeking a Funds Lawyer with 3-6 PQE to join their award winning investment funds team. The practice's range of work is very diverse from fund establishment as well as investments into funds (including Shari'a compliant structures). The practice has established itself as a significant force in investment funds structuring and establishment.

The team advises sponsors and institutional investors - including private equity houses, sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), financial institutions and corporate clients - on fund establishment and related issues. Funds are used as a tool in order to diversify the local economies (e.g. establishment of seed funding programmes, establishment of funds to monetize strategic assets and establishment of funds to attract international managers into the regional financial centres).

The funds span a range of asset classes including private equity, infrastructure, venture capital, real estate and technology funds. The practice covers a range of fund domiciles including regional (e.g. Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia) as well as international and/or offshore (e.g. Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Jersey and Delaware).

At IDEX, we strive for an inclusion-first company culture where everyone is treated fairly and can bring their authentic selves to work. We recognise and acknowledge that diverse representation at every level of our business requires continuous and measurable effort. We are committed to driving conscious inclusion across our business and creating equitable pathways.
