Overview of Services
This group uses its extensive experience in representing both funds and investors across a variety of areas within the firm to ensure clients receive the most qualified legal advice possible.
This is an area of law that requires a clear perspective of the big picture. Having represented clients on both sides of the table, we have a detailed understanding and keen appreciation of the attendant concerns. This enables us to counsel clients on the practical aspects of organizing and operating a fund while accounting for market conditions and the relative bargaining power of the parties involved.
