Direct Investing

Through advice and connection, our team bridges the gap in the direct investing industry where participants who were once solely limited partners of funds now act as principals directly investing in opportunities. Given the investor type involved, these investments are frequently crafted to fit a specific investment need as well as to promote broader partnership and deal flow among those involved. To facilitate transactions, we have developed an exclusive network of family offices, pensions, sovereigns, endowments and high-net-worth individuals that come together around transactional opportunities and investment knowledge sharing. For example, in 2020, our team advised on a significant capital raise at a media company primarily owned by two Billion-dollar family offices. The capital raise was unique because the families wanted to package the media investment with broader partnership and investment opportunities across family offices. Our ability to combine high level strategic legal advice with capital formation is fundamental to our client approach in direct investing.
