Assistant General Counsel Vollzeit
Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You've come to the right place.
YOUR IMPACT
Your role is a part of McKinsey's Legal Department, focusing on large scale, complex client fee arrangements: (i) in the equity and equity-like space (e.g., collaborating with venture capital funds, private equity funds and those funds' portfolio assets); and (ii) which are „performance based“ (e.g., linked to financial metrics which reflect the performance of McKinsey's clients).
As part of our Global Alternative Arrangements Legal COE, you will work across Europe on holistic programs which help McKinsey's clients change their trajectory and achieve full potential through interventions in performance, capabilities and organizational health.
You will work closely with firm leadership, the wider McKinsey Legal Department and other firm functions including Finance, Commercial, Risk, Compliance, Treasury and Tax to structure, negotiate and execute these arrangements. There will be opportunity to work with and learn from experienced lawyers with backgrounds in PE, VC, M&A and leveraged finance. You'll advise consultants on a broad range of legal issues relating to alternative arrangements from inception to completion, including progression through our firm's risk and economic committee approval processes, during negotiations and in-flight.
You'll work with and manage external counsel where additional support is required, including in respect of ensuring compliance with relevant securities laws and other regulatory matters, and you'll take a proactive role in internal knowledge and learning- e.g., developing precedent documents and training firm leadership, the wider McKinsey Legal Department and other firm functions on matters relating to alternative fee arrangements.
