About the Company

- ● Draft and negotiate complex agreements and lead the due diligence of fund managers (GPs), service providers, and institutional partners in accordance with Moonfare's global standards.
- ● Provide legal guidance on new product launches, co-investments, and secondary market opportunities within the US jurisdiction.
- ● Liaise with external US counsel to ensure high-quality, cost-effective legal support, while operating as part of an international legal group with a strong connection to the Luxembourg-based Global Fund Legal team.
- ● Partner closely with Sales and Operations teams to ensure legal and compliance frameworks support US business growth and to foster effective, high-touch interaction across all US-based teams.
- ● Act as the primary liaison for SEC and FINRA matters and manage and ensure all filings, including Form ADV's and Form D's, Blue Sky, are accurate and timely.
Requirements
