Private Funds

We have extensive experience in organizing and launching private investment funds, including private equity funds, venture capital funds, real estate funds, hedge funds, funds-of-funds and funds organized outside the United States. Our team helps non-U.S. fund managers raise capital in the U.S., advises on the tax and regulatory implications of establishing U.S. offices, and has represented U.S. and non-U.S. private fund managers in the global distribution of their funds. Further, we provide knowledgeable guidance on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulatory compliance issues and a broad array of transactional matters, as well as represent clients in civil litigation and in investigations and enforcement matters before the SEC and other regulators. We also help clients navigate regulatory impediments such as unnecessary registration. Collaborating with lawyers throughout our firm, we offer fund managers and other clients comprehensive legal advice regarding all aspects of their business, including tax, ERISA, employment, intellectual property, real estate and litigation matters.
