About

Provided by Arendt & Medernach

Arendt's real estate and private equity fund lawyers advise on all aspects of the structuring and organisation of private equity and real estate funds, managers and advisors, as well as on investments and transactions in the sector - notably the definition of investor co-decision rights, carried interest schemes, debt financing arrangements and capital market-related aspects, as well as the negotiation of purchase agreements.

We advise on private equity and venture capital fund strategies, including start-up, expansion capital, development and turn-around or buy-out funds, real estate and private equity real estate fund strategies. We assist clients in formulating contractual relationships between investment vehicles and their services providers, such as the depositary, prime broker, investment manager, investment advisor, administration agent and other providers of fund-related services.

Our teams also advise on the implementation of complex investment strategies, including derivatives transactions, securities lending or collateral-related matters, and more generally on all asset management-related issues. Our legal advice covers compliance with regulatory requirements, for instance regarding private equity funds set up as SICARs or SIFs, the acquisition and financing of private equity businesses, implementation of carried interest structures, executive compensation and ownership schemes, as well as fundraising.
