Specialist funds and investment business advice

Investment fund formation, structuring and regulatory compliance

Our funds and investment business practice advises fund managers, sponsors, institutional investors and service providers on establishing and operating investment funds. We work with asset managers, private equity and venture capital firms, family offices, investment banks and insurance groups.

We advise on a broad range of fund structures, including hedge, private equity, credit and real estate funds, with experience across open‑ended and closed‑ended vehicles such as segregated account companies, ISACs and limited partnerships. Our investment funds lawyers provide guidance from formation through regulatory approval, ongoing compliance and restructuring or winding down.

Ongoing fund operations, transactions and dispute management

Our practice extends beyond fund formation to include ongoing operational support. We advise on portfolio acquisitions and dispositions, financing arrangements, exchange listings, fund restructurings, mergers, and distressed situations. We also work closely with our litigation team when contentious matters arise involving investors, service providers, or regulatory issues.

We understand the commercial pressures fund managers face and the importance of speed to market. Our investment funds lawyers are responsive and practical, focused on delivering efficient solutions that support successful fund operations while meeting regulatory requirements.
