Travers Smith is an international, full-service law firm which advises the world’s largest financial institutions, asset owners and managers on their most complex matters. We have built our reputation as leading advisers to the alternative asset management industry by providing comprehensive, expert advice and unparalleled insight into market trends.

We advise on mandates across private equity, venture, credit, infrastructure, real estate and secondaries strategies and, as alternative asset managers look to access private wealth - we are market leaders in structuring to attract that capital, but with an eye to operational practicalities. Our multi-disciplinary secondaries team advise on all transaction types including LP portfolio secondary transactions and the variety of structures comprising GP-led liquidity solutions. Our practice also focuses on structured liquidity solutions, advising on complex finance products provided to funds or sponsors to enable them to achieve liquidity for their investors or provide further funding to their portfolio, including subscription lines, NAV/hybrid facilities, GP/Co-invest facilities and preferred equity solutions.

The Travers Smith team includes specialists in Tax, ERISA, financial services, M&A, capital markets, employment, fund finance, litigation, ESG and sustainability. We also play a key role in shaping the private capital industry through the significant work we do for industry groups such as the BVCA, Invest Europe, AIMA, the ACC and other organisations.
