Managing Director - Funds (LP Transfers)

Managing Director (Partner Equivalent) - Remote

Rewrite the Rules of Funds Legal Services 

Avantia Law isn’t a traditional law firm — and we’re not looking for a traditional law firm  partner. We’re building the market’s most agile, tech-enabled private funds platform, and we want a Managing Director to lead and own our Funds practice. 

If you live and breathe fund structures, investor transfers, secondaries, and the real-world operational challenges that GPs and LPs face… this is your seat at the table. 

The Mission 

You’ll build and lead a specialist practice that covers the full spectrum of LP transfers, secondaries, and special projects for a rapidly growing roster of global asset managers. 

This is high-impact, hands-on work — but with the autonomy, creativity and strategic freedom that major firms can’t offer. 

What You’ll Lead 

LP Transfers, End-to-End 

You are the “go-to” expert for everything related to investor transfers: 

• Transfer mechanics, GP consents and LPA interpretation 

• Multi-party negotiations and administrator coordination 

• High-volume workflows + high-touch bespoke matters 

• Complex structures (master-feeder funds, parallel vehicles, SPVs, SMAs) 

You’ll architect the most efficient, client-friendly LP transfer offering in the market. 

Special Projects  

In this role you will design and execute project and advisory solutions for leading global funds.

Core responsibilities include:

• reviewing subscription documents
• updating and maintaining fund documentation.
• managing operational projects that improve efficiency compliance and investor experience. 

Infrastructure of a Best-in-Class Practice 

You’ll build scalable systems, templates, playbooks and tech-enabled processes. 
Think automation, intuitive workflows, investor-friendly communications — the opposite of a traditional, document-heavy practice. 

Leadership That Feels Like Ownership 

• Hire, mentor and grow a specialist team 

• Set strategy, pricing, quality standards, and workload models 

• Drive profitability, efficiency and client satisfaction 

• Take full ownership of the practice P&L 

This is your business unit. We give you the platform — you shape the future. 

Business Development That Feels Natural 

Your network is already strong; we’ll help you make it even stronger. 
You’ll: 

• Build deep relationships with GPs, LPs, administrators and secondaries advisers 

• Capture recurring investor-transfer workflows 

• Represent Avantia across the funds ecosystem 

• Lead thought leadership on secondaries trends, transfer mechanics and emerging structure.

Requirements

Who You Are  

You’re not just a funds lawyer — you’re a builder, a strategic thinker, and someone who gets energy from solving complex fund mechanics. 

You bring: 

• 12+ years of experience in private funds, secondaries or asset management 

• Deep, practical fluency in LPAs, MFN, transfer restrictions and investor rights 

• Cross-border comfort (UK/EU/US structures) 

• Strong understanding of KYC/AML, regulatory approvals and onboarding flows 

• Either an established book of clients or the credibility and network to build one 

• A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset — no bureaucracy, lots of freedom 

Why Avantia Law? 

Avantia offers something different from a traditional firm: 

• Autonomy: You run the practice, not a partnership committee 

• Scale: Work with 100+ institutional clients already on the platform 

• Innovation: A delivery model built for modern private markets 

• Impact: Your decisions shape the firm’s growth 

• Momentum: A fast-growing market, a fast-growing practice, and no red tape 

If you want the freedom to build a best-in-class funds platform — this is it.
