Fund
Formation
Complete formation and documentation for venture capital, hedge, real estate, and alternative funds — from entity structuring and LP/GP agreements through Regulation D compliance and ongoing investor relations support.
Fund formation engagements take two distinct forms at this firm. The right path depends on how standard your structure is, how much customization the documents require, and how predictable you want the cost to be.
CUSTOM
Bespoke Fund Formation
Documents drafted from substantial client input. Best when the structure is non-standard, when investor concessions and side letters are extensive, when parallel or feeder vehicles are required, or when the regulatory posture (RIA registration, AIFMD, ERISA, non-U.S. investor allocations) calls for tailored documentation.
Engagement: Hourly or fixed-fee, scoped at intake.
Turn-key
Flat-Fee Fund Packages
Documents built from the firm's default-term templates for one of eight preset fund structures — for VC funds: Traditional SPV, Syndicate, Multi-Security Master / Series Fund, Rolling Fund, or Traditional VC Fund; for real estate funds: Real Estate SPV, Real Estate Master / Series, or Multi-Asset Real Estate Fund — and customized to your fund's name, economics, minimums, and elections from a short intake form. Minimal client input required.
Engagement: $3,000–$4,000 flat fee for VC funds; $3,000–$4,000 flat fee for real estate funds; plus optional $5,000 PPM. VC Pricing→ RE Pricing→
Fund Structuring & Entity Formation
The right fund structure is the foundation of a successful capital raise. We advise general partners and investment advisors on entity selection, jurisdiction of formation, GP/LP economics, management fee and carried interest provisions, and the regulatory implications of each structural choice — before the first investor document is drafted.
