Investment Management  :  Fund Formation and Private Offerings; Ongoing Fund Representation

Our fund formation and private offering attorneys focus on helping our clients launch new funds and assist them in their capital-raising efforts. All of our new fund launches are driven by state-of-the-art legal and market developments in fund formation and disclosure. Whether you are a new manager launching your first fund or a seasoned manager introducing a new product, our team will provide you with advice regarding all aspects of your operations. We will coordinate the numerous service providers involved, advise you on current and impending market developments that could affect your fund, and counsel you on applicable laws, rules and regulations. We regularly organize private investment funds, including private equity funds, hedge funds, fund-of-funds, real estate funds, debt funds, mezzanine funds, capital opportunities funds and hybrid vehicles. We also advise institutional investors concerning potential allocations to alternative investment vehicles and in connection with their engagement of investment advisers.
