We also advise regional focused funds, including funds investing into Africa,
the Middle East, south-east Asia and central and eastern Europe.
We have the resources to handle complex domestic and international funds.
With our offices in Berlin, Brussels, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London,
Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris and Shanghai, and close contact with
corresponding legal and tax firms worldwide, we are able to provide immediate
advice in all jurisdictions. Many of the funds we have advised attracted
investment from outside the fund’s domestic market. We therefore have
considerable experience in catering for non-resident investors and know many
of them well, in particular those from the United States. We are familiar with the
ERISA requirements of US pension fund investors and the tax and regulatory
needs of US investors generally, to ease their investment and hasten closing.
We are also familiar and stay up to date with developments in US tax and
regulatory funds, including the recent Dodd Frank Act.
