Investment Funds & Asset Management (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Willkie Farr & Gallagher is an impressive up-and-coming international firm, which has expanded on its longstanding renown for high-quality advice on US private equity and M&A transactions by building a successful European operation focused on the same core areas. The firm can offer clients an experienced US team, primarily staffed in New York, which has developed a good track record for coordinating cross-border matters. Colleagues in Europe are well integrated into the firm's international practice, and the US offices frequently lead cross-border matters in conjunction with teams in Germany, France and the UK.

The firm demonstrates specialist expertise across fund formation and investments and the regulation of private and registered funds. It adeptly handles matters across a variety of asset classes and is highly regarded for its experience in alternative investment strategies. The private equity fundraising practice spans North America and Europe and effectively partners with co-counsel in key fund formation and offshore jurisdictions.
