This practical new edition, edited by Tom Alabaster at Ropes & Gray, features contributions by leading industry specialists on a wide range of issues arising at all stages of a private investment fund‘s life cycle. Topics covered include formation and structuring, regulatory matters, deal-level considerations, environmental concerns, as well as jurisdictional/offshore matters, their jurisdictional differences and choice drivers (such as Ireland and Luxembourg). The guide also sets out and explores the particular issues presented in relation to listed funds, energy funds, secondary transactions and GP-led recapitalisations.
As a result, this publication provides a wide-ranging and practical guide to the legal, regulatory, tax and commercial elements of establishing and operating private investment funds.
