Industry
Institutional clients are answerable to a board, a mission, and often a public. Advice that ignores any of the three is incomplete.
Sector contacts
We advise universities, private foundations, cultural institutions, and their investment offices on governance, investment and commitment terms, employment, real estate, and the disputes and investigations that occasionally follow.
Investment work for this group is not the same as advising a commercial allocator. An endowment committing to a third-party fund is subject to spending obligations, public reporting expectations, and a trustee standard, and the negotiated terms have to reflect that rather than the market default.
What clients are contending with
Illiquid and long-duration commitments have to be justified to a board that will be asked about them publicly.
Decisions that would be routine in a private company become questions of institutional legitimacy when the institution is watched.
Campus and collection assets are managed on horizons that outlast every person involved in the current decision.
Practice Areas
Fund formation, secondaries, and regulatory counsel for managers and institutional investors.
Succession, governance, and philanthropy for families whose principal asset is a business.
Development, investment, and financing across logistics, data centers, and energy assets.
Senior transitions, restrictive covenants, workplace investigations, and the employment side of transactions.
Speak to the firm
Describe the matter in general terms and name the parties involved. We run a conflicts check, usually within two business days, and a partner in the relevant practice will call you. The first conversation is not charged.
