Drawing from the experience and know-how of private equity, tax, real estate, energy and financial lawyers from 69 offices around the globe, our Funds practice provides comprehensive advice and assistance in fund structuring, formation and capital raising for investments across the domestic and global spectrum. We regularly represent sponsors and investors in a wide variety of private and public investment funds, including private equity, real estate, energy, infrastructure, mezzanine, hedge, merchant banking, carbon credit trading and distressed company funds.
Integrating tax and corporate law advice as well as fund structuring and deal execution, we offer a one-stop service providing tailored and comprehensive solutions for clients’ specific needs. We take into account international tax complications, ERISA requirements, securities law and Investment Company Act rules affecting jurisdiction, governance and operation of funds. Where there is room to maneuver in the interplay between managers and investors, we guide clients on the commercial range of fund terms. We also review fund documentation on behalf of institutional investors, with a focus on assessment of market terms and act for investors selling their fund investments in the secondary market.
