Investment Funds
Our investment funds practice is distinguished by the diverse and unusual range of funds we act for, along with our bespoke, high-quality and comprehensive service. We cover the structuring, establishment and documentation for investment funds, addressing the regulatory issues affecting both the funds and their managers.
Our investment funds expertise
In the private funds space, we act for small and medium fund managers as well as large and sophisticated family offices in structuring and establishing a range of funds including private equity, venture capital, property and debt funds. We work in numerous jurisdictions including the UK, Jersey, Guernsey, the Cayman Island and Luxembourg. We also advise clients in negotiating investments into private funds.
We regularly act on the establishment of FCA authorised funds such as UCITS and NURS funds and have worked on numerous restructures including schemes of arrangement as well as putting in place master feeder arrangements, both domestic and cross border.
