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 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.
