Fund Formation
Burr & Forman advises clients on the structure and creation of, as well as investment in, private funds across all legal disciplines. The formation of funds involves securities, corporate finance, domestic and international tax, ERISA, real estate and other experts working together to address critical fund features, such as management structure and fees, key personnel compensation, side letter agreements for institutional investors, investment restrictions, acquisitions and dispositions, securities compliance and disclosure documents, and dissolution. Advice includes registration with the SEC or appropriate state regulatory bodies of investment advisers.
