Investment Funds

As the financial markets crisis continues to stem government initiatives such as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) and the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP), our funds practice is prepared to guide our clients through the complex regulatory and legal challenges of the new financial landscape. We are taking a very proactive, multi-disciplinary approach towards each of these government initiatives leveraging the full breadth of the firm’s resources for the future success of our clients.

As counsel to many of the top private equity and hedge funds in the world, our investment funds practice has helped clients raise, invest and realize billions of dollars. Our representation of a broad range of asset managers and institutional investors gives us proprietary insight on emerging trends in the private equity and hedge fund industries. Akin Gump is ranked nationally and internationally among the top service providers in private equity fund formation (Chambers USA 2005-2008) and hedge funds (Chambers USA 2008) and was ranked among the top hedge fund legal service providers by Alpha magazine in 2007 and 2008.

Throughout decades of counseling clients, our commitment remains the same: helping our clients overcome obstacles and expand opportunities for the long-term success of their firms and investors.
