Executive Search, Legal & Compliance, JW Michaels & Co.
JW Michaels is partnering with a large hedge fund on a General Counsel search for its global public‑markets investment platform.
This is a top‑of‑house legal leadership role for a sophisticated, judgment‑driven attorney who wants to operate at the core of a world‑class investment organization — advising senior leadership, partnering closely with the investment team, and helping guide the firm through continued growth and complexity.
Why this role stands out:
- GC seat at one of the most respected global investment platforms
- True strategic partner to senior leadership and investors
- Broad mandate across regulatory, transactional, and risk matters
- Opportunity to shape legal infrastructure at scale, not just manage it
The profile:
- Senior legal leader with deep investment management / hedge fund experience
- Strong command of regulatory issues applicable to global equities platforms
- Credible, polished presence with the ability to advise at the highest levels
- Practical, commercial mindset — solutions‑oriented, not academic
- Comfortable operating independently while collaborating across functions
This is a role for someone who combines technical excellence, sound judgment, and real gravitas — and who wants to be embedded in the investment process, not sitting on the sidelines.
If you or someone in your network fits this profile, I’d welcome a confidential conversation. Discretion assured. Please email
