About

Provided by Collas Crill

Collas Crill's fund specialists offer advice on all aspects relating to the establishment, authorisation and structuring of funds and related investment vehicles. They have particular expertise acting for emerging managers building their businesses, helping managers to structure funds for esoteric and specialised asset classes and acting "LP-side" for major institutional investors.


The depth of the firm's funds practice is drawn from some of the world’s largest law firms with experience in a range of jurisdictions so they truly understand the needs and demands of onshore counsel, investors and their clients. The team at Collas Crill is well accustomed to working with clients investing across time zones, seamlessly managing matters and transactions between its Caribbean and European offices. 


Collas Crill's uniquely diverse practice regularly assists with the establishment of both open and closed-ended fund structures. In addition to traditional Channel Island private equity and real estate structures and Caribbean hedge funds, the firm has advised on a number of alternative and esoteric classes. They work alongside clients to understand their investment thesis and provide bespoke drafting to build the fund the client wants as opposed to generic template structures and documentation. Collas Crill advises clients at every step of the process, including preparing offer documents, investor negotiations, the preparation of agreements, and in the closing of transactions.
