Gründung von Private-Equity-Fonds

Unsere Anwältinnen und Anwälte verfügen über langjährige Erfahrung bei der Errichtung von Private-Equity-Fonds, die häufig komplexe Strukturen aufweisen und Investitionen in Milliardenhöhe anziehen. Als externe Beraterin von Gründern und Managern solcher Fonds entwickelt Cleary Gottlieb Fondsstrukturen, die neben den jeweiligen Investitionszielen auch steuerlichen Überlegungen, den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und grenzüberschreitenden Fragestellungen optimal Rechnung tragen. Unsere Expertise umfasst neben der Verhandlung und Dokumentation aller Aspekte der Fondsgründung auch die laufende Beratung von Fondsgesellschaften. In diesem Zusammenhang haben wir Gründer und Investoren bereits in vielen verschiedenen Anlagesegmenten beraten, zu denen unter anderem internationale und regionale Fonds, Buyout-Fonds und Gesellschaften, die in notleidende Verbindlichkeiten investieren, Infrastrukturfonds, Hedgefonds und Dachfonds zählen.
