Overview

We work with sponsors and participants during the entire fund/joint venture cycle. We understand the key structuring, tax, and audit issues that drive successful fund formation, operations, and exit. 

Our focus is to collaboratively address the structuring implications for inbound and outbound transactions for your fund (buy-out, real estate, distressed debt, etc.) so you can benefit from effective planning for sponsors and each class of investor.
