The goal of the private equity fund practice is to provide our clients with superior expertise, problem solving, and service.
Our clients include both traditional and SBIC venture capital, buyout, mezzanine, and other private equity funds, both domestic and international, for whom we provide a full range of services, including fund formation, management organization, and portfolio
transactions. The firm has represented SBICs for 30 years. We have the requisite depth of experience to be closely familiar with market
and regulatory norms and trends. We seek to differentiate ourselves by providing our clients with in-depth experience, innovative
problem solving, and superior service.
Although most fund terms are necessarily guided by market and regulatory conditions, we believe that a “one size fits all” approach
does a disservice to clients who may require reasonable solutions to their circumstances. Although our clients closely follow the “market” in the vast majority of cases, some have found ample room for creativity when necessary, such as the creation of multiple investor classes, the re-opening of a fund’s fundraising, the buyout of the SBA’s position in a fund, the sale of all or part of a portfolio, and the opening of offices in more than one country, to name just a few examples.
