Intro description:

Legalist is an institutional alternative asset management firm. Founded in 2016 and incubated at Y Combinator, the firm uses data-driven technology to invest in credit assets at scale. We are always looking for talented people to join our team.

We're hiring a Junior Portfolio Counsel to lead monitoring of our growing portfolio of litigation finance investments. You’ll be joining a growing team of engineers, lawyers, and data scientists to make real-time decisions in a fast-paced environment.

In this role, you will own 100+ of our existing litigation finance investments, reporting directly to the leader of Legalist’s Investment Monitoring team. Our portfolio requires active management by someone able to combine commercial savvy with legal common sense.

This is a front-office position for someone looking to apply legal skills to managing a large number of investment positions. This person quickly becomes comfortable (in addition to monitoring underlying commercial litigation) with analyzing contracts, assisting in negotiations with counterparties, and creatively resolving disputes – all with an eye to optimally exiting our investment positions. 

If you are a commercially minded attorney who enjoys hard work and new challenges, this may be the job for you; if you’ve ever answered a question with “I’m not that kind of attorney” – or “I’m just an attorney” – this would probably not be a good fit.

Core responsibilities:

  • Serve as a primary contact with our investment counterparties and monitor progress of underlying cases
  • Report investment progress to internal stakeholders and help solve any problems that arise with investments for internal and external escalation
  • Work with colleagues on our Underwriting, Finance, and Investor Relations teams on evaluation and quarterly reporting of investment positions
  • Actively contribute to the valuation process for our litigation finance investments

Qualifications:

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • 2+ years litigation, restructuring, or similar experience
  • Prior experience at an investment adviser, financial firm, or with a high-volume case load are pluses
