Our breadth of coverage affords clients a single solution for raising and deploying capital globally and ensures our fund formation teams are up-to-date with market terms across asset classes and jurisdictions.
We advise clients who raise funds ranging from less than $10 million to over $25 billion, with a particular focus on private equity, real estate, venture capital, infrastructure, fund-of-funds, credit/debt, impact and responsible investing, emerging market, listed, and hedge funds. We also specialize in large-scale GP-led liquidity events, fund restructurings, separate managed accounts, secondaries, co-investment pools, hybrid funds, and complex incentive arrangements.
We work closely with our dedicated knowledge management and data team, and our tax, ERISA, securities, banking, and other financial services practices to advise clients at every stage in the fund lifecycle.
