Investment Management Deal Structuring
Together with our Corporate / M&A team and Real Estate team, our Investment Management team advises fund managers worldwide on legal and tax aspects of private equity backed investments, in listed and non-listed entities and in real estate in our home countries.

The commercial terms and the legal and tax structure are often very similar to those of private equity funds. Therefore, these are a natural fit with our ‘traditional’ investment management work.

How we can help
Structuring and taxation are our strengths. These enable us to anticipate tax pitfalls and integrate tax aspects at all stages of a transaction initiated by a private equity or real estate fund. This includes the possible legal and tax implications (and future exit proceeds) of such a transaction, for both the fund and its investors. We can also assist in the post-closing legal and tax compliance.
