Job Description


Ready to step beyond traditional legal practice and take ownership of a growing investment platform's legal function?
​
We are headhunting a talented Corporate Lawyer with 5 years' post-qualification experience to join an established, international investment business operating across Africa.
This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded legal professional to work at the intersection of venture capital, private equity, investment funds and African markets.

THE OPPORTUNITY
You will take ownership of legal, compliance and corporate governance matters across a multi-fund, multi-jurisdiction investment platform, working directly with senior leadership and investment teams across Mauritius, London, Nairobi and Lagos.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL INCLUDE:
Fund formation, fund structuring and investor documentation.
Drafting and negotiating LPAs, side letters and subscription agreements.
Reviewing and negotiating investment and shareholder agreements.
Advising on transactions, deal structuring and investment exits.
Managing regulatory compliance and conflicts of interest.
Company secretarial duties, board matters and corporate governance.
Managing external legal advisers across multiple jurisdictions.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Qualified Corporate Lawyer with approximately 3–5 years' PQE.
Experience in venture capital, private equity or investment funds is highly advantageous.
Strong understanding of corporate transactions and commercial agreements.
Exposure to multiple legal jurisdictions.
A commercially minded professional who enjoys variety, responsibility and working in a fast-paced investment environment.
Someone who wants to build, influence and take ownership — not simply provide legal support.

THE OFFER
Hybrid working arrangement – two days in the Mauritius office.
Regular travel to London and Nairobi.
Competitive remuneration and benefits, plus discretionary bonus.
Direct exposure to investment decisions and senior leadership.

THIS IS MORE THAN A LEGAL ROLE. It is an opportunity to help shape the legal, regulatory and governance framework of an expanding African investment platform.
Interested in exploring this opportunity confidentially?

Kindly consider your application unsuccessful should you not be contacted within 7 working days, many thanks
