Funds

Whether you are launching, operating, lending or investing in a fund or alternative indirect investment vehicle, you must overcome legal hurdles which may be from a domestic and/or cross-border perspective.

Our funds group advises across your key asset classes, including private equity, real estate, infrastructure, hedge, venture capital, debt and exchange traded funds. We advise on all types of funds and other indirect structures and throughout the lifecycle. We can advise on the commercial, legal and tax aspects.

We are highly skilled in efficiency and provide commercial and pragmatic advice to reach successful deal conclusions quickly and with reasonable budgets.

We recognise the fast-moving regulatory climate and aim to simplify the legal minefield with CMS's expert funds guides. These cover developments such as those affecting passporting and private placement regimes and allow you to keep pace with key market changes.
