Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will lead the legal structuring of Delaware-based feeder funds and serve as the primary point of contact for US regulatory bodies including the SEC and FINRA. Additionally, you will provide expert legal advice on product launches and manage complex contract negotiations with institutional partners.
Candidates must be licensed to practice law in a US state with 8–12 years of experience in private equity, venture capital, or asset management. You must possess deep knowledge of the US regulatory landscape and have a proven track record of drafting legal documents and managing regulatory filings independently.
Moonfare delivers what few others can: the highly sought-after funds and hidden-gem investments that go beyond what most private banks offer. Every opportunity is subjected to a ruthless vetting process; the bar is unforgivingly high. The result? Institutional-quality portfolios for investors who demand more.
Our team combines finance veterans with talent from tech, consulting, law and industries you’d never expect. Headquartered in Berlin, we operate from eight offices across Europe, the US and Asia.
If you're ready to build what's next in private markets, let's talk.
Moonfare is experiencing exceptional growth in the North American market. Our Legal & Compliance Team plays a central role in enabling this success by shaping fund structures, guiding regulatory strategy, and partnering closely with teams across the business to open up private markets to US investors.
Moonfare US is currently a small close-knit team of five, with each member playing a hands-on role in the day-to-day success of the business. As the platform continues to grow and expand its range of offerings within the US market, the team is expected to grow alongside. This is a standalone role and you’ll report to our Chief Legal & Compliance Officer in Berlin and work day to day with our Luxembourg-based Global Fund Legal team.
You will lead the legal structuring of our Delaware-based feeder funds, oversee our regulatory framework, and ensure our platform remains at the forefront of SEC and FINRA excellence.
In this role, you will be responsible for providing expert legal advice on the setup, structuring, and operation of US-domiciled private equity feeder funds (primarily Delaware Limited Partnerships). You will also serve as the primary point of contact for US regulatory bodies.
We understand the important role that diversity plays in our success. Different backgrounds, experiences and ideas push us further and raise the bar. We’re committed to developing an inclusive and safe culture where everyone — regardless of colour, race, religion, sex, origin, sexuality, disability, marital status, citizenship or gender identity — knows that they are an integral part of the team and can bring their full potential to their work.
