General Counsel / COO Single Family Office London Our client is a private family office with international reach and a portfolio of direct investments. They are looking to appoint a COO who will also act as General Counsel - a dual-remit role for someone equally comfortable setting strategy and getting into the detail. The Role Reporting to the Principal, the successful candidate will combine operational leadership with legal oversight - supporting transactions, negotiations, and the office's direct holdings, while representing the family externally with advisers and counterparties.
This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to be close to the deals, not removed from them. The role carries an international dimension, with periodic travel required. About You You will have a strong legal background - likely starting your career at a top law firm or the Bar - before moving into a senior legal, operational, or commercial role, within a family office or private investment office.
You're commercially sharp, discreet, and pragmatic, with a track record of stability and sound judgement. You hold a strong degree and are comfortable with both the COO title and a legal remit - as well as strong transaction experience.
