Private Funds Legal Services
Private funds are an increasingly popular choice of investment vehicle for institutional investors and family offices, with lower regulatory and legal requirements than publicly traded funds.
Nevertheless, the rapidly changing regulatory landscape means there are complex issues to navigate at all stages of a private alternative investment fund’s life, from formation to marketing and operation.

Our team of specialist lawyers advises on the full range of fund structures for private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt funds, implementing innovative and commercial solutions tailored to your strategic requirements. We will work alongside you on comprehensive fund structuring and establishment service bringing together our tax, regulatory and fund formation lawyers, and advise on your carried interest incentivisation arrangements and on co-investment. The varied nature of this work, across all aspects of the funds market globally, gives us a clear understanding of the latest trends and patterns.
If you’re looking to attract international investors or establish a fund in an overseas jurisdiction, our global team regularly advises on the best location for funds and on the establishment of funds in all well-known fund jurisdictions.
