New Today
Location: United Kingdom (Remote first or hybrid)
Avantia Law is the legal and compliance partner to many of the world's leading asset managers and private equity firms. We combine extensive sector expertise with proprietary AI‑powered workflows to help clients move faster, manage risk, and accelerate their deals.
We’re now expanding our funds practice, and we’re looking for a lawyer ready to lead that growth.
This is a leadership role from day one – a chance to define how a modern funds practice operates. You’ll shape strategy, guide delivery, and build a team that pairs exceptional legal judgment with innovative execution.
The opportunity
You’ll:
Lead and grow a practice with clear strategic backing from the firm
Work directly with the firm’s decision‑makers, allowing you to move quickly and drive meaningful change
Collaborate with lawyers, technologists, and operations specialists across the firm
Help build the infrastructure for a modern, global funds practice – powered by AI
Requirements
You're a technically strong funds lawyer (typically 3–5 PQE) looking for more than the next rung on the ladder. You want to build something lasting – a new type of practice grounded in excellence, innovation, and trust.
You thrive where autonomy comes with accountability and where technology is an enabler, not a box‑ticking exercise. You’re curious, have a vision of what the future looks like, and the drive to make it happen.
Why Avantia
Avantia isn’t trying to replicate traditional law – we’re building something smarter
Empowered Autonomy – Genuine control over how you build your practice, backed by a leadership team that values initiative and innovation
Client proximity – We work with the largest LPs and GPs in the world – you’ll be on the front line
Integrated technology – Ava enhances every process, making our lawyers faster and freeing them to focus on judgment, not admin. You’ll work with our technologist to shape and optimise our Funds AI
Collaborative culture – All our teams have the same values, working together to build the law firm of the future
About Avantia
From London to New York, Avantia is building a new model for legal and compliance delivery – one that blends the precision of expert lawyers with the efficiency and insight of technology.
Our proprietary AI platform, Ava, empowers our attorneys to negotiate from a position of strength, respond faster, and deliver better outcomes. But technology alone isn’t what sets us apart; it’s how we use it.
Avantia is built for people who see change as an opportunity. We value clarity over caution, innovation over inertia, and collaboration over hierarchy. We’re shaping the future of our industry through excellence and ownership – empowering our people to challenge convention and make a lasting impact.
If you’re ready to build and lead the next generation of funds law, we’d love to hear from you.
Benefits

25 days holiday + UK Bank Holidays
Additional day off for your birthday
Comprehensive Private Healthcare and lots of lifestyle perks with Vitality (medical history disregarded)
Early finish Fridays in the summer
