We have the leading private investment fund formation practice in Canada. We regularly advise sponsors in connection with the formation of a wide variety of investment funds, including:

• private equity funds (buyout, venture capital, mezzanine, distressed assets and co-investment)
• hedge funds 
• real estate funds
• fund-of-funds
• specialty situations
• other "alternative strategy" funds, including telecommunication, energy, mining, clean technology and other sector funds

We also represent sophisticated investors in these funds, including Canada's leading pension plans, institutions and family offices in connection with their investments in leading U.S. and international private investment funds.
