Fund Formation
Chadbourne's Private Funds group provides advice on fund formation, management structuring and deal execution across a broad range of fund classes, including buyout, venture capital, hedge, real estate, mezzanine, distressed and funds of funds.
Our fund formation team currently includes four corporate partners, three tax partners and two partners dedicated to employee benefits and ERISA matters, and is supported by our U.S. and international tax practice. Our private funds practice is based in New York and is supported by experienced attorneys in our 12 other worldwide offices.
Current Chadbourne partners include a founding member of a buyout fund that focuses on U.S. and Latin American middle market investments, as well as a former senior officer of a multi-billion dollar Europe-based hedge fund.
In addition to fund formation, Chadbourne’s fund-level advice covers matters such as structuring acquisitions and dispositions, general fund compliance matters, co-investment arrangements and management-level issues (including compensation, carry allocations, admissions and departures, wealth management, investment adviser/broker-dealer matters, consulting arrangements and infrastructure). Our investor side clients include major corporate institutions, public and private pension plans, family offices, foundations and endowments, funds of funds and development finance institutions that regularly invest in private funds.
Chadbourne’s tax lawyers bring deep knowledge of and experience in the tax aspects of structuring multi-national transactions and partnerships. Chadbourne is well versed in managing the needs of different kinds of private fund sponsors and investors, including taxable, tax-exempt (both pension and endowment), non-U.S. and sovereign entities.
