About this list

What fund lawyers do

Fund lawyers set up and look after private funds: they draft the partnership agreement and offering documents, negotiate terms with investors, and keep the manager within securities, tax and regulatory rules over the fund’s life. Some act for the managers (GPs) who raise funds, others for the investors (LPs) who commit to them, and some for both.

8 fund lawyers at 4 firms are listed on this page in Minneapolis. The 4 with the most: Taft Stettinius & Hollister (4), Lathrop GPM (2), Ballard Spahr (1) and Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath (1).
