  • Assist in due diligence on acquisition targets specifically the legal / tax structuring and implementation of structure post-acquisition. This will involve understanding the key issues and risks and co-ordination of advice from third party advisers.
  • To assist with fundraising including the preparation of client RFPs, response to due diligence queries from prospects, assistance in the negotiation with investors / legal advisers regarding Fund terms, preparation of board papers.
  • Assist with the on-going management and operations of acquisition structures.
  • Support the general team activities and the development of the European Funds.
  • Ensure strong communication of ideas to the wider global investment team.
