We work globally, and at scale, across all key markets. Funds management is a fast moving and heavily regulated environment. In order to succeed, you need to be able to capitalize on opportunities arising from fast-growing international markets, develop innovative new funds and structures and ensure regulatory compliance while managing risk.
Having been at the forefront of the industry for over 40 years, we can help you meet challenges head on, whether you are looking for commercial advice on fund structuring, formation, deployment of capital and exit. We can advise you on all fund structures, including listed and unlisted funds, alternative investments (private equity, energy and infrastructure), wholesale and retail funds and BDCs (where we are generally recognized as the market leader).
We also advise institutional investors investing into funds including family offices, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds as well as hedge fund managers on their investments, management structures and regulatory matters.
Partnering with us gives you access to a wealth of knowledge from across the globe. We have attorneys on the ground in all the major financial hubs worldwide and a network of lawyers that can provide tailored advice on related topics.
This allows you to benefit from the combined knowledge of our colleagues from across practice areas, including Tax and Finance to help anticipate issues before they arise and allow you to take advantage of new opportunities as your business develops.
We regularly advise registered funds of all structures (mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and closed-end funds (interval funds and tender offer funds)) and their boards of directors/trustees on a wide range of matters relating to the development and launch of new funds, fund reorganizations, acquisitions, mergers, regulatory and compliance matters relating to existing funds, fund governance issues and SEC examinations.
