Global law firm DLA Piper advised a leading US-headquartered global fintech platform focused on alternative investments on the establishment of multiple access funds across key international markets.
DLA Piper advised on all legal aspects of the transaction, including structuring and formation of multiple open-ended and close-ended investment funds, investor negotiations, securities law, regulatory and tax matters across a number of jurisdictions as the client continues to expand access to alternative investment opportunities through its technology-enabled investment platform.
The matter brought together a multidisciplinary team from across DLA Piper’s global platform, including lawyers from the United States, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Thailand and the Middle East, demonstrating the firm’s ability to deliver seamless cross-border advice on complex fund structuring, regulatory and tax matters.
The cross-border team was led by Shinong Wang in Hong Kong. Shinong was supported by Witold Jurewicz, partner (Tax); Terry Davis, partner (Funds); David Solander, partner (Funds); Tanya Boyle, of counsel (Funds); and Allanah Wynn, associate (Funds) in the United States; Caroline Pimpaud, partner (Funds); Bahya Bouharati, of counsel (Funds); and Sarah Noville, associate (Funds) in Europe; Anderson Lam, partner (Tax); Tina Xia, partner (Tax); and Lilian Ip, senior associate (Tax) in Hong Kong and China; Adrianus Schoorl, partner (Litigation and Regulatory), and Anushri Uttarwar, associate (Litigation and Regulatory) in the Middle East; and Thananan Sangnuan, partner (Corporate) and Thanadee Wittayachon, associate (Corporate) in Thailand.
Catherine Pogorzelski, International Sector Head of DLA Piper’s Investment Management and Funds, said: “The matter highlights the increasing convergence of technology, private markets and investment solutions, as well as the growing demand for coordinated advice across multiple jurisdictions. It also showcases the strength of DLA Piper’s integrated global platform and our ability to bring together market-leading funds, regulatory and tax capabilities to support clients on complex international projects.”
