Strategic Counsel for Investment Funds
LawVisory is proud to offer the expertise of our highly skilled attorneys, who specialize in providing essential guidance and legal representation to fund sponsors, fund managers, and investors in various investment funds. With a deep understanding of various industries, we specialize in fund formation, mergers, and navigating the complexities of offshore funds. Our experience spans venture capital, private equity, real estate development, and hedge funds.
Trusted Counsel to Funds
LawVisory lawyers have a deep and refined understanding of the Securities Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Investment Company Act of 1940, Investment Adviser’s Act of 1940 and fund-specific tax issues (such as UBTI, FIRPTA withholding and carried interest).
Fund Documentation Drafting & Negotiation
LawVisory has substantial experience in drafting fund documents, including the private placement memorandum (“PPM”), limited partnership agreements, operating agreements, and confidentiality agreements. We have also negotiated underlying documents such as the development agreement for a real estate development fund and the cryptocurrency acquisition agreements for a digital assets-focused investment fund.
Among other things, we advise our clients on compensation (including market rates for fund management and portfolio management services, and how to structure the waterfall provision).
Investor Negotiations
We assist our clients in negotiating investments into the fund, managing subscriptions and PPM controls, confirming accredited investor status, and filing the appropriate federal and state private placement filings.

We have assisted in the establishment of foreign private investment funds, Shar’iah compliant funds, and foreign master funds (with US feeder funds), among others.
