The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Crypto Funds Attorney to join our team. The ideal candidate will have 5-10 years of experience in private fund formation, with a focus on both onshore (Regulation D) and offshore (Regulation S) offerings. This role is remote, offering flexibility for the right candidate, and will involve fund formation and management, with an emphasis on regulatory compliance in the context of emerging digital assets and crypto investments and supporting token sale offerings, as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Cross-Jurisdictional Expertise: Work to navigate both U.S. and international regulatory environments, ensuring compliance with applicable securities laws, including those governing private investment funds and crypto assets.
• Investor Relations & Fund Management: Oversee ongoing legal matters for the fund post-launch, ensuring that fund operations are in line with regulatory frameworks, although subsequent filings will not be directly handled by this role.

Requirements

• Experience: 3-5 years of experience at a law firm, venture capital/private equity firm, or asset management firm with a focus on private fund formation and regulatory compliance.
• Legal Expertise: Deep understanding of SEC Regulation D (onshore) and Regulation S (offshore), with a demonstrated ability to apply these regulations in the context of crypto-related investments.
• Knowledge of Emerging Regulations: Familiarity with the proposed Clarity Act and other legislative efforts related to digital asset regulation.
