Investment Fund Financing

Overview

Overview

Our global fund finance lawyers advise fund sponsors, fund managers, banks and non-bank lenders on fund finance transactions involving funds established in the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey and Luxembourg.

Senior-led and execution-focused, we provide clear and commercial advice on complex cross-border and offshore fund finance transactions across the full fund lifecycle. Our team has deep experience across subscription finance, NAV financing, GP financing and other forms of fund-level financing.
