Beacon Hill Legal is partnering with a highly sophisticated and rapidly growing asset management platform to identify a Senior Counsel to join its legal team. This role reports directly to a well-regarded General Counsel/COO and offers a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact, business-facing position with significant visibility across the organization.

This is a great opportunity for a Big Law attorney with private credit, lending, or broader finance experience who is looking to transition in-house while continuing to work on complex, high-level matters.

Highlights:

  • Senior Counsel role reporting directly to the GC/COO with direct exposure to leadership and the board
  • Highly substantive, non-routine work focused on lending, credit, and capital markets transactions
  • Opportunity to present to the board, manage deals, and draft key transaction documents in-house
  • Strong mentorship and training environment with a hands-on GC who prioritizes development
  • Fast-growing platform spanning middle market lending, syndicated loans, structured credit/CLOs, and asset management
  • Collaborative, down-to-earth culture that values team players willing to roll up their sleeves
  • Hybrid schedule (2-3 days in office)

Required:

  • 6+ years of transactional experience, ideally from a top law firm
  • Experience in private credit, lending, leveraged finance, or a similar finance-focused practice
  • Experience with capital markets and/or public company work strongly preferred
  • Background supporting asset managers, investment funds, or BDCs is a plus
  • Strong drafting and deal management experience with the ability to operate independently
  • Business-minded, pragmatic, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
  • Active bar license required
