Structuring, negotiating and documenting direct investments, co-investment transactions and related special-purpose vehicles involving family offices and other investment group participants; and

Additional preferred experience includes:

Experience representing institutional investors, such as public and private pension plans, endowments, foundations, insurance companies and other sophisticated investors, in connection with investments in private funds, separately managed accounts, co-investments, and strategic investment arrangements.
Experience reviewing and negotiating limited partnership agreements, side letters, subscription agreements, investment management agreements and related governance, economic and investor-protection terms on behalf of institutional investors.
Experience negotiating and documenting strategic joint ventures, private equity and venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions, and other general corporate matters.
