Our Advisory Services
Fund Structure Selection
Advisory on the right fund vehicle — Limited Partnership, LLC, Unit Trust or Corporate — based on your investor base, asset class, jurisdiction and tax objectives.
SPV Architecture
Purpose-built SPVs for deal-by-deal co-investment, project finance, asset ring-fencing or regulatory isolation — each designed with clear entry, governance and exit provisions.
Investor Admission Framework
Subscription process design, investor eligibility criteria, capital call mechanics and side letter advisory — ensuring a clean and compliant investor on-boarding process.
GP/LP Governance Design
Partnership agreement advisory, GP authority scope, LP protections, carried interest mechanics and management fee structures — documented for institutional investor confidence.
Fund Documentation Review
LP agreement review, PPM advisory, subscription document assessment and regulatory disclosure requirements — ensuring your documentation meets institutional standards.
Regulatory Registration Guidance
We guide fund managers through registration and notification requirements across ADGM, DFSA, FCA, SEC and ESMA-equivalent frameworks.
Built for Real Outcomes
Fund and SPV structures must serve two masters simultaneously: the legal/regulatory requirements of the jurisdiction and the commercial expectations of investors.
We sit at the intersection of both — designing structures that are compliant without being overcomplicated, and investor-friendly without sacrificing governance discipline.
