Moses & Singer represents the sponsors and managers of private investment funds, including domestic and offshore hedge funds, venture capital funds, real estate funds, opportunity funds, distressed debt funds, private equity funds and fund-of-funds, in resolving the array of business and personal legal issues they face.  In addition, we represent high net worth individuals and other sophisticated institutional investors in these types of funds, as well as financial institutions in making loans to funds, or making loans to investors secured by their interest in funds.

Moses & Singer utilizes an inter-disciplinary approach that draws on our securities, corporate, banking, bankruptcy, tax, intellectual property, employment, ERISA and estate planning practices.  We are involved in fund formation, including the structuring of unregistered domestic and offshore funds, the preparing of organization and offering documents, advising on advertising and investment-raising activities and advising on internal fund arrangements such as governance, employment and compensation issues.  Our nationally recognized fund-financing practice can provide critical advice in the financing of investor commitments.

Moses & Singer counsels its clients on the full range of activities engaged in by private investment funds and their portfolio companies.  These include strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions, follow-on investments or financings, bankruptcy and restructuring advice and exit transactions.  Moses & Singer’s intellectual property and employment practices aid in protecting the intellectual property and human capital that can form a significant portion of the value of a fund and its portfolio companies.

For the principals of funds, we offer highly sophisticated counsel in equity incentive and other compensation arrangements, business succession, estate and tax planning, asset protection and family law matters, such as pre- and post-nuptial agreements, separation agreements and contested divorces.

Our clients recommend us for our responsiveness and attentiveness to their needs and our cost-effectiveness, qualities that are increasingly difficult to find in counsel.
