Complete legal advice for investment funds
Successfully launching a new fund can be a time consuming and involved business, with ever-increasing layers of regulation and tax compliance, as well as market practice, to be aware of. For many, it's also a passion project involving years of personal time and resources.
Our investment funds lawyers have the experience to take managers smoothly through this process, from structuring and establishing the fund and related fund management businesses to team incentivisation through carried interest and co-investment structures, investor negotiation and on into the ongoing operation of the fund. We also advise on co-investment structures, SPVs and funds-of-one, and joint ventures. We truly partner with our clients on this journey, providing knowledgeable, pragmatic advice in an efficient and friendly fashion.
I love this firm. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and creative: everything you want. They as a firm are business-oriented, creative, entrepreneurial and nimble. Their people are consistently excellent, even the most junior that I work with.
