Investment funds: the core of MJ Hudson
We structure and advise on:
- Private limited partnership funds, parallel vehicles and co-investment pools, structured as a drawdown and distribution model, often for private equity, venture capital, real estate and mezzanine managers
- Regulated and unregulated, open ended hedge or commodity funds
- Listed primary, secondary and feeder funds, structured to increase share price based returns for investors
We also create bespoke investment structures, including:
- Co-investment schemes
- Pledge structures
- Managed accounts
- SPV structures
We have acted on many high-profile and innovative fund raisings. Our work goes beyond simply advising on the legal process and we believe we make a significant contribution to the success of a fundraising.
We advise on the full spectrum of fund related issues, including structuring, regulation, marketing, terms, investor negotiations, implementation of fund structures, investment and co-investment schemes.
- Structuring
We provide integrated funds, tax and regulatory advice that provides our clients with tax-efficient, practical and cost-sensitive structures. We have experience in all major on-shore and off-shore jurisdictions, private and public vehicles and, because of our broad industry focus, we are ‘structure and location agnostic’ and work with our clients to develop the best structure for them.
- Terms
Our team has many years of experience working with fund sponsors as well as investors. Acting for a broad range of investors and asset managers gives us a powerful insight into funds terms and emerging trends in all sectors of the alternative assets industry. Such experience and knowledge is particularly valuable to clients as convergence across all asset classes continues to develop in the industry.
- Negotiations
We understand that negotiations with investors in today's highly competitive fundraising market is crucial to the success of any fundraising.
- Implementation
Our team is highly experienced in drafting to tight deadlines the full range of documentation necessary to establish investments funds and other investment vehicles. The global nature of the funds industry is such that we are usually advising on matters that span multiple jurisdictions. We have close and long-standing relationships with leading law firms in all the major off-shore jurisdictions. By working with those other leading independent firms around the world, we provide a strong and efficient client service.
