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.
