Nationally Ranked Fund Formation

Fund Formation Expertise

Fund Formation & Structuring

We form and structure venture capital, growth equity, and hybrid fund vehicles at all stages and sizes, from debut funds to scaled multi-fund platforms. Our work spans entity design, domicile selection, partnership economics, and organizational structuring tailored to the manager's strategy and LP base.

LP Agreements & Fund Terms

We draft and negotiate limited partnership agreements, LLC agreements, and side letters that define the core economics of the fund. This includes management fees, carried interest, GP clawback, preferred returns, distribution waterfalls, and MFN provisions.

GP Economics & Management Co.

We advise on management company formation, carry splits among principals, GP commitment structures, and key person economics. We focus on building incentive arrangements that align the sponsor team with LPs and hold up across future fundraises.

SPVs & Co-invest Vehicles

We structure special purpose vehicles and co-investment vehicles for deal-by-deal investments, co-invest allocations alongside flagship funds, and continuation transactions. Our work covers subscription mechanics, allocation policies, and coordination with existing fund documents

Emerging
Managers

We advise first-time and emerging fund managers on launching their initial vehicles, including fund structuring, regulatory setup, compliance framework design, Form D filings, and establishing institutional-quality governance from day one.

Governance & Ongoing Counsel

We advise on LPAC formation, key person provisions, investment restrictions, excuse and exclusion rights, and LP consent mechanics. Post-closing, we serve as outside counsel on follow-on investments, amendments, extensions, and wind-down.
