Representing Sponsors and Investors-Fund Formation
For years, we have been among the leading firms representing both sponsors of private equity funds and institutional investors in connection with their investments in private equity funds. Our private equity lawyers closely follow legal and marketplace developments in the area, including tax law changes and accounting and regulatory developments affecting funds. We advise a range of clients on forming and managing private equity funds, and have extensive experience in representing sponsors in the formation of funds of funds and other more sophisticated investment fund structures.
From Due Diligence to Documentation-Doing Deals
Dedicated to representing leading private equity funds, including buyout and venture capital funds, in their portfolio investment activities, our clients include a broad range of private equity funds in buyouts and venture capital investments. We have extensive experience representing private equity funds in acquisitions and dispositions, leveraged recapitalizations, restructurings and workouts, and public and private finance.
The size and diversity of our practice, including its depth and experience in key areas such as intellectual property, regulatory affairs, environmental law, employment law and real estate, enables our team to offer private equity clients in-depth coverage of due diligence issues in investment or buyout transactions. Our tailored approach to due diligence and the ability of our group to draw upon the extraordinary breadth of the firm's legal practice help to differentiate our private equity practice from those of other leading firms.
We recognize that one size does not fit all in the private equity world, and we provide the highest level of service without sacrificing our ability to creatively tailor our advice and approach to any transaction.
Assisting Private Equity Funds with Portfolio Companies
Our lawyers are experienced in assisting private equity funds in a range of matters not directly related to the formation and investment activities of funds. We serve as "general counsel" to numerous portfolio companies providing day-to-day legal and business advice to the portfolio companies and their sponsors. In addition, our Firm's many years of experience in structuring executive compensation and incentive arrangements is frequently sought out by private equity funds looking to establish and implement effective incentive programs for their portfolio companies. Similarly, our Firm's considerable experience in patent and intellectual property matters is frequently utilized by our private equity clients, not simply for due diligence, but for active representation of portfolio investments where intellectual property is one of the drivers of value.
