Experience, insight and, when circumstances require, creativity
Our private funds team is composed of seasoned professionals who possess the full range of knowledge needed to represent private funds. We’ve guided hundreds of funds through the formation process. We’ll work with you every step of the way, from structuring of manager and general partner vehicles, seed financing, governance and regulatory and compliance matters, including SEC examinations. Our counsel also extends to advising non-U.S. fund managers on U.S. regulatory and tax issues, and the marketing of private funds in the U.S.
Finally, we work in tandem with our complementary active investor-side practice, which affords us with deep market intelligence and insights into investor concerns.
Our clients can depend on a stable bench to offer creative and efficient client driven results. Our team is widely known as best in class, and in 2021 we were recognized by MITIMCo as a recommended law firm in the U.S. and Canada for our private funds practice in representing emerging managers.
