Avantia Law is the legal and compliance partner to many of the world’s leading asset managers and private equity firms. We combine extensive sector expertise with proprietary AI-powered workflows to help clients move faster, manage risk, and accelerate their deals.

We’re now expanding our funds practice, and we’re looking for a lawyer ready to lead that growth.

This is a leadership role from day one - a chance to define how a modern funds practice operates. You’ll shape strategy, guide delivery, and build a team that pairs exceptional legal judgment with innovative execution.

The opportunity

You’ll:

• Lead and grow a practice with clear strategic backing from the firm.
• Work directly with the firms decision-makers, allowing you to move quickly and drive meaningful change.
• Collaborate with lawyers, technologists, and operations specialists across the firm.
• Help build the infrastructure for a modern, global funds practice - powered by AI

Requirements

You’re a technically strong funds lawyer (typically 3–5 PQE) looking for more than the next rung on the ladder. You want to build something lasting - a new type of practice grounded in excellence, innovation, and trust.

You thrive where autonomy comes with accountability and where technology is an enabler, not a box-ticking exercise. You're curious, have a vision of what the future looks like, and the drive to make it happen.

Why Avantia

• Avantia isn’t trying to replicate traditional law - we’re building something smarter.
• Empowered Autonomy -  Genuine control over how you build your practice, backed by a leadership team that values initiative and innovation.
• Client proximity -  We work with the largest LPs and GPs in the world - you'll be on the front line.
• Integrated technology. Ava enhances every process, making our lawyers faster and freeing them to focus on judgment, not admin. You'll work with our technologist to shape and optimise our Funds AI.
• Collaborative culture. All our teams have the same values, working together to build the law firm of the future.
