| Private Equity and Hedge Funds |
Private equity and hedge funds turn to WilmerHale for advice on facing the complex challenges of operating tax-efficient structures. We have advised investment fund sponsors concerning optimal off-shore and on-shore investment vehicle structures, including the tax consequences for US and non-US investors of holding and disposing of their investment in such funds, tax treatment of the funds under US and non-US tax regimes, and tax considerations relevant to investments to be made by such funds. In recent projects, we have:
- Advised a fund manager in the structuring and preparation of offshore funds
- Represented a fund-of-funds manager in the organization and placement of several funds offering access to diversified private capital portfolios
- Assisted a fund in connection with equity investments in technology and health care companies
- Structured a private equity fund’s debt and equity investment in offshore enterprises
