Private Equity Secondaries Associate | 3-6 YOE | NYC

Location:New York, NY
Level:Mid-Level Associate
Focus:Private Investment Funds – Secondaries

You’ve put in the hours, closed the deals, and know your way around a secondary transaction like it’s second nature. Now it’s time to take that next step, not just another job, but a seat at the table at one of the most elite legal shops in the game.

Our AmLaw 100 client is building on its powerhouse reputation in private equity and is looking for a sharp, fast-moving associate to join its secondaries squad in NYC. If you’re ready to step into a role where you’re not just reviewing docs but leading major pieces of billion-dollar deals, keep reading.

What You’ll Tackle:

  • Take point on sophisticated GP-led secondaries, fund restructurings, and tender offers.

  • Navigate high-stakes transactions for both big-name sponsors and serious secondary investors.

  • Work alongside dealmakers who are redefining what the secondaries market can be.

  • Get hands-on with co-investments and fundraises.

What You Need to Bring:

  • 3-6 years of secondaries experience at a major law firm.

  • Confidence managing core pieces of complex deals.

  • A JD from a top school and New York bar admission (or a fast track to it).

  • Communication skills that are clear, sharp, and to the point.

Why This Role:

Let’s skip the buzzwords. This is your shot to do meaningful work at scale, with the backing of a top-tier platform and the mentorship of attorneys who actually invest in your growth. No filler, no fluff, just real work, real clients, and real momentum.
