Asset Management

Across the globe and across industries, O’Melveny provides legal, regulatory, and market insight that helps funds and investors achieve their goals. Our Asset Management team advises clients on all the legal issues that impact funds, including regulatory, tax, and corporate and partnership matters, and we are the market leader in secondary transactions, working with clients on innovative and complex transactions with investment assets around the world.

Our team works closely with general partners on raising and structuring funds and with limited partners—including some of the world’s most active institutional investors—on investments into private equity and other alternative investment funds. We also advise on co-investments and on the sale or acquisition of investment advisors.

Clients benefit from our global, team approach, which allows us to share information across offices and stay ahead of market trends and emerging legal and regulatory issues.

Regulatory Insight

• We work with funds based in Europe, the US, and Asia to help them navigate complex and ever-changing regulations, including the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive in Europe and the Investment Adviser Regulation in the US. Our team of compliance specialists knows how our clients’ funds work and how regulations apply, so we can offer focused, relevant, commercially minded advice.

Emerging Markets

• From the most established players to the most promising upstarts, we routinely advise clients on creating and investing in emerging-market funds. We work in particular with investors and managers on funds focused on sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey, and Southeast Asia.
