Investment funds
Our clients are seeking to provide financial services to an extremely high level. We appreciate that they need finely tuned advice from us so that they can deliver excellence to their clients.
Our funds team has exceptional market knowledge and has the ability to execute within tight deadlines in this rapidly changing environment.
We advise fund managers, advisers, other service providers and investors on a range of matters relating to their work and ongoing strategic issues. Many of our clients' projects bring together a number of disciplines; we frequently draw on the expertise of our banking and finance, commercial, corporate, employment, real estate and tax lawyers to provide a seamless service, however complex the work.
International issues are commonplace in what we do. Whether we are advising in relation to the formation of a fund involving offshore vehicles or the amalgamation of a regulated fund between jurisdictions, our independent status ensures that we are able to instruct the very best local counsel. As a result, clients benefit from the highest quality advice suited to their needs and the specific matter in hand.
