Investment Funds: Fund Formation

Goodmans is internationally recognized as one of Canada’s top private equity law firms. We are trusted partners on some of the industry’s most complex transactions, offering bespoke, innovative and practical solutions to meet client needs. We represent funds throughout their lifecycles, from structuring, formation and fundraising through acquisitions, exits and ultimately the formation of successor funds.

Combined with our deep expertise, the close relationships we develop with our clients have made us trusted advisors to many prominent Canadian and foreign private equity sponsors and pension funds, in connection with their direct portfolio company investments. The extensive activities of our sophisticated investor client base provides us with considerable visibility into the structures and terms of a wide variety of real estate, private equity and other investment funds, further strengthening our understanding of the market.

We stay at the nexus of Canada’s venture capital community. Through these partnerships, we extend advice, mentorship, and networking connections to emerging companies and the investors we track, and we have successfully linked growth companies to investment capital on numerous occasions.
