We are built for middle market and emerging sponsors seeking to raise institutional capital, and provide cutting edge advice at an unparalleled value. From fund formation to fund restructurings, we advise sponsors on all aspects of their private fund businesses. 

Secondary Market Representation

Our funds attorneys provide advice on all types of secondary transactions related to private investment funds, including continuation funds, strip sales, LP tender offers, and GP restructurings.

Institutional Investor Representation

From primary investments and direct/indirect co-investments, to anchor investing, separately managed accounts, and funds-of-one, we advise LPs on all aspects of their investments. We do not simply focus on a single asset class, but rather advise LPs on all types of private fund investments.
