Investment Funds & Asset Management (International & Cross-Border) - USA
What the Team is Known For
As a top-tier New York practice, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett is regularly sought out by major private equity firms and global corporations as a go-to firm for advice on international transactional mandates. Primarily handling high-end mergers and acquisitions as well as sophisticated fund formation, financing and cross-border tax matters, the firm's New York office is a significant hub of global expertise. It frequently coordinates cross-border work with the firm's other international offices across Europe, Latin America and Asia and with carefully chosen independent co-counsel from other jurisdictions.
Its funds teams provide clients with top-tier advice on both the formation and transactional aspects of private funds, regularly linking with specialist teams in global financial centres to effectively service multi-jurisdictional work. The firm has been particularly successful directing international work for US clients from New York, as they expand and invest into other markets, and is a world leader in significant buyout deals. The firm also offers experience advising on cross-border issues around real estate and infrastructure investment funds.
