We are looking for a professional who will be a member of the Legal and Compliance team. Desirable candidates could include attorneys with 2-3 years of relevant experience, highly experienced paralegals or compliance professionals. This professional will work primarily with the three attorneys in the group whose focus is the Company’s hedge fund practice. Many aspects of the position will require interaction with members at all levels of the investment, research, fund operations, risk management, client relations and client services groups. The candidate should have some experience with private securities transactions and, ideally, with relevant provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, Commodity Exchange Act and ERISA. Familiarity with relevant international law and regulation would be beneficial. It is not expected that the candidate will be familiar with, or be expert in, each area. Rather, it is expected that the candidate will have a mix of experiences, and gaining expertise in unfamiliar areas will be a priority so as to develop independent thinking in the position.
