Our private funds practice, based in New York, is supported by experienced attorneys in our 12 other worldwide offices. As a full-service firm, we strive to provide our clients with a ‘one-stop shop’ in the private funds area.

Our other complementary practice areas include US and international taxation, employee benefits and ERISA, mergers and acquisitions, bank finance, securities and corporate governance, project finance, communications, real estate, litigation, insurance/reinsurance, bankruptcy and restructuring, intellectual property and trusts and estates. Attorneys in our private funds practice collectively speak 10 languages, providing us with special capabilities in support of our emerging markets clients.

Current Chadbourne partners include a founding member of a buyout fund that focuses on US and Latin American middle-market investments as well as a senior officer of a multi-billion-dollar Europe-based hedge fund. As a result of our direct experience on the business side of the industry, we are in a better position to understand the market and creatively assist our clients in all aspects of fund development, from formation to investment to exit.

• Introducing emerging management teams to significant capital sources
