Investment funds: establishment and investment

Overview

We also have extensive experience with issues specific to the structure of investment funds and their governance by investment fund managers (e.g., manager compensation structures and incentive plans for employees).

We work with investment fund managers and limited partners alike, including pension funds, regulated entities, non-profit organizations and international investors. On several occasions, we have also represented all the investors and partners of investment funds in connection with their creation and initial funding, achieving a balanced representation of the interests of all parties in a cost-effective manner.

At every stage and level, our professionals on the Lavery Capital team can assist you with all your legal needs relating to investment funds, including all that relates to fund structuring, capital raising, fund operations, investment structuring, securities regulatory and registration requirements, tax structuring, exit strategies and transactions, investment policies and fund governance.
