IN THIS PRACTICE

Private Equity and Venture Capital

Fund Formation

Schiff Hardin attorneys have a long history of representing sponsors and other entrepreneurs forming private equity funds and other investment vehicles. Our attorneys have formed:

  • Traditional committed capital buyout funds
  • Funds of funds
  • Small business investment companies (SBICs)
  • So-called "one-off" or single investment funds

Schiff Hardin's depth of practice in tax, securities laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and real estate in particular allows us to creatively address the many complexities of organizing these funds and other investment vehicles.
