Funds & Investments

The private capital marketplace is complex and ever-changing. Properly structuring and documenting financial transactions to meet objectives and remain compliant is paramount

Therefore, the investment attorneys you partner with must possess deep familiarity with relevant securities and regulations. It’s also critical that the lawyers representing you are deeply familiar with market terms and conditions.

At Eldridge Brooks Partners, we leverage our expertise in the formation, fundraising, compliance, and portfolio transactions of venture capital, private equity, growth, and debt funds and sponsors.

He’s structured funds and fund investments in numerous complex situations. His legal experience, over 20 years in the financial realm advising and investing in private capital funds and private companies, and advising limited partners and funds of funds across the country give him the upper hand.
