Venture Capital & Private Equity
BuckleySandler attorneys represent venture fund and private equity fund clients in all aspects of their businesses and operations. We frequently counsel clients on structuring these private investment vehicles to qualify for exemptions from the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act.
In addition to advising our clients on regulatory compliance matters, the Firm’s attorneys advise on organization, capital financing, incentive fees and other compensation arrangements, portfolio company investments, dissolution, and other extraordinary transactions. We have experience in creating related structures such as fund-of-funds, parallel funds, master/feeder funds, and non-U.S. or offshore vehicles. We are familiar with criteria for special investors, such as retirement plans subject to ERISA, and have been retained by institutional and high net-worth investors as well as family partnerships and trusts desiring to invest in funds to evaluate the funds’ governing documents and related laws and regulations.
On behalf of our clients, our attorneys often negotiate and craft limited partnership and limited liability company operating agreements, private placement memoranda, and subscription documents, as well as management, advisory, brokerage, custody, and margin agreements, and have acted as legal counsel in connection with investments and acquisitions of both operating and developmental-stage businesses for venture and private equity firms.
