Fund formation, continuation vehicles, and the secondary transactions that reshape existing portfolios.
Rowan Ellsworth advises sponsors and institutional investors on fund formation and on the increasingly complicated transactions used to extend, restructure, or exit existing portfolios. Roughly half of their practice is now continuation vehicles and other sponsor-led secondaries.
They are known among clients for having a settled view on conflict disclosure in these transactions and for insisting on it early, on the grounds that a limited partner advisory committee asked to approve something in the final week will ask harder questions than one consulted in the first.
They joined the firm in 2011 and became a partner in 2018. They co-author the firm's annual note on terms observed in the private funds market, which is circulated to clients each January.
Representative Matters
A sponsor-led secondary in which the conflicts process was settled before the transaction was announced rather than defended after it.
Eleven assets, a maturing facility, and a lender that wanted participation in the upside rather than a higher margin.
