Practice Areas

Nick Holman co-leads our Investment Funds team and is proud that he has spent his entire professional career at the firm.

Nick has extensive experience across a broad range of alternative investment funds, and advises both fund managers and institutional investors. As well as being recognized by both the Chambers UK and Legal 500 legal directories as a Leading Individual for real estate and infrastructure funds, he is also recognized widely for his work on the launches of private equity and impact investment funds. Nick's broader experience includes advising on pledge funds, complex co-investments and secondaries transactions (including "GP-led" continuation funds), as well as carried interest schemes and employee co-investment vehicles.

Nick is very focused on ensuring that both he and his team provide thoughtful advice that is tailored for each situation. He is immersed in the funds industry, and has advised fund associations in both the US and UK on a range of business-critical matters.

Nick picked up the 'Funds Team of the Year' trophy at the prestigious 2015 'The Lawyer' Awards for his work advising on the launch of a truly innovative debt fund. The award was even more satisfying because the fund in question is focused on bringing off-grid power to very poor communities in the developing world; using his fund structuring skills to make a difference is something Nick is passionate about, whether working for social entrepreneurs, development banks or other impact investors.
