Profile

We are a London-based law firm dedicated to addressing the diverse needs of our clients. Our blend of expertise, agility, and culture enables us to meet the most challenging demands and drive innovation.

Servicing the needs of the private capital industry is at the core of our firm. In an ever-changing world of diverse asset classes, regulatory and tax changes, and increasingly demanding investor requirements, private capital managers need advisors who are immersed in the industry, quick to adapt and capable of leading new developments.

We support our clients in meeting these challenges, including setting up new businesses, managing all their house requirements, launching new products, adapting to regulatory and tax changes, obtaining finance and deploying capital. Alongside our preeminent legal advice, we also offer a range of symbiotic non-legal services including Investor Intelligence, Risk Management and ESG, AI and Technology, Public Policy and Accounting and Valuations.

We assist our private capital clients with the structuring and execution of continuation funds, including advising on the terms and structure of the asset transfer, the continuation fund vehicle and the carry rollover. We also act for our sponsor clients on GP-led secondaries and when not acting on the sponsor side, we also act for lead investors into these structures.
