About
Provided by Baker McKenzie
The Baker McKenzie London team has a strong group of funds, regulatory tax partners, counsels and associates who provide strength and depth to a market-leading investor-side fund formation and advisory team.
They act for some of the most prominent and active fund sponsors, institutional investors and financial institutions on a broad spectrum of fund structures, including blind pool funds, club deals, co-investments, consortium arrangements and separate managed accounts.
Their UK funds lawyers act as a hub for regional and global Investment Funds Group covering a number of jurisdictions in addition to the UK, bringing the considerable weight of the firm's international tax, regulatory and sector-specific teams to the funds mandates on which it advises.
Baker McKenzie is well known in the industry for their particularly strong relationship with some of the key sovereign wealth fund investors, which have become a major driving force of the private funds sector as they typically act as cornerstone investors in the fund structures in which they invest and often invest in the sponsors and managers of funds as well.
The team has significant experience in advising funds and asset managers on matters relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainable finance and, in addition to ESG and sustainable finance, Baker McKenzie has been particularly active in some of the key growth markets, in particular the disposal and acquisition of fund and asset management firms.
