• Advise you on compliance obligations and regulatory decisions that need to be made before fundraising begins.

Once your fund is launched, we can continue to provide day-to-day legal guidance and operational advice on topics including:
• LP and portco relations

Once your fund is launched, we can continue to support you through your investment period as your deal counsel. Our services include:

We help you invest in, and warehouse, deals prior to the formation of your fund in order to demonstrate the quality of your deal flow to potential LPs, and take advantage of time-sensitive opportunities. Once your fund is formed, we transfer the investments to your fund.
