About the role

Winston Taylor is looking for an associate with 4 - 6 years of significant experience in private equity fund formation and related matters. Ideally, the candidate should have experience (preferably at a large law firm or, in special circumstances, an in-house setting), in (i) assisting private equity fund sponsors on fund formation matters, including the preparation and negotiation of fund private placement memoranda, partnership agreements and related ancillary agreements, (ii) reviewing fund documentation on behalf of institutional investors and the related negotiation of fund terms, and/or (iii) structuring and drafting governing documents pertaining to private equity fund management companies and general partners. The candidate should have a working knowledge of relevant securities rules and regulations, including the Investment Advisers Act. Experience with private equity secondary transactions and/or GP-led restructurings would also be helpful. While we are looking for candidates to place in our Chicago, Charlotte, or New York office, candidates for our other offices will be considered. All candidates must be admitted to the state bar of their office location. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
