Our Service

I am a private funds lawyer specialising in pooled investments into alternative asset classes including private equity, venture capital and real estate. I have particular expertise advising fund sponsors and investors on investments relating to social and affordable housing.

I have experience acting for a wide range of fund managers and investors operating in the private capital space and advise across a spectrum of pooled investment structures and jurisdictions, including the UK, Jersey, Guernsey, Cayman and the UAE. 

Having previous experience working inhouse at an asset manager means I take a commercial approach when advising my clients. I like to invest the time to get to know my clients’ businesses so that I can provide pragmatic advice and partner with them to help them achieve their objectives.

When I’m not advising on fund formation I can be found in the kitchen or in front of the barbecue rustling up something delicious for my wife and kids or running some of the local trails out in Hertfordshire.

Experience

Advised a consortium of investors on the launch of the UK’s first Reserved Investor Fund, an evergreen fund investing in low-cost affordable housing.

Advised a private equity firm on the launch of a £400m private equity fund investing in European pharmaceutical and medical technology businesses. 

Advised sovereign wealth funds on c.£1bn of private equity and infrastructure fund investments.
