Funds and asset management

With more than 50 offices around the world and in each of the key global financial centers, our funds and asset management practice is driven by a unique, full-service approach in which we frequently collaborate across borders to help clients emerge in a position of strength. The asset management industry continues to grow, as does its sophistication and regulatory oversight; our lawyers combine in-depth legal knowledge with deep industry experience to navigate these and all other aspects of the funds and asset management sector. 

Our lawyers have deep experience around the world in private funds of various strategies, including private equity, venture capital, real estate, debt, infrastructure, ESG and others, as well as in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). We advise on the full spectrum of fund operations including fund structuring, formation, licensing and restructuring, marketing of funds and negotiation of fund terms with investors, secondary transactions, investor-side assistance on fund investments and generally all fund activities and operations throughout their life.

We also offer clients the benefit of our broad experience in asset management projects, including license applications for management companies and other service providers, assistance of mergers and acquisitions, regulatory filings, advice on compliance framework, governance, fund distribution, portfolio management, delegation, ESG framework, AML framework and other topics. Regional, national and international clients benefit from our extensive understanding of regulatory change and important new developments in critical areas such as ESG and climate change, and we are able to provide strategic legal advice on navigating these issues.
