Omni Bridgeway

Omni Bridgeway is an alternative asset fund manager investing in litigation funding / dispute resolution finance, with expertise in both civil and common law investments as well as in global cross border enforcement matters. The company has a global leading platform with the industry’s largest dispute finance team of over 165 talented professionals working across three geographic hubs of the Americas, APAC and EMEA from 23 offices across 15 countries. Omni Bridgeway, characterised by an informal culture combined with a highly professional working style, has the feel of a scale-up environment.

The role

Omni Bridgeway is seeking a General Counsel to take the lead on managing legal and regulatory risk in its business operations across the EMEA region. The General Counsel EMEA will provide support to the Global General Counsel by providing senior in-house expertise in the northern hemisphere and by contributing to key person risk mitigation for the group. The role carries responsibility for the legal aspects of the investments being made by the funds managed and for broader fund-related matters such as marketing to potential investors. The EMEA portfolio is wide: it spans a variety of investment types, from high-profile class actions and insolvency funding to post judgment enforcement and law firm credit structures. The EMEA legal team is modelled on a team of two with a General Counsel and senior corporate counsel fully integrated with the investment teams across the region.

Responsibilities

The General Counsel EMEA plays a central role in how investments are structured, documented and managed. Key areas of focus include:

  • Running the legal side of funding;
  • Drafting and coordinating funding arrangements;
  • Managing insourcing and outsourcing;
  • Supporting funds and new products;
  • Building legal operations and (new) technologies;
  • Contributing to group projects and risk management.

Candidate profile

Omni Bridgeway is seeking a General Counsel EMEA with a background that naturally combines in-depth legal knowledge with financial and business understanding. The successful candidate holds a civil law Master’s degree (ideally Dutch or Swiss) and has at least 10 years of experience as an attorney-at-law and/or in-house counsel. Experience in fund management, private equity, structured credit, alternative assets or bank / structured finance is highly regarded, as it provides a strong basis for understanding how different funding structures work and where the risks lie. M&A exposure may be useful in understanding deal dynamics, but it is distinctly secondary to experience in contracting and financing.
