— 01 / Practice
A narrow practice. Deliberately so.
A specialist focus on the high-volume transactional paperwork that surrounds every private equity fund — handled quickly and properly.
Engagement Letters
Adviser engagement letters with banks, accountants, consultants and DD providers. Sensible mark-ups, no academic battles.
Side Documentation
Process letters, exclusivity letters, confidentiality undertakings, club-deal coordination paper and similar transactional correspondence.
Volume Work
Per-document or retainer pricing for funds with a steady flow of repeatable documents — predictable cost, partner-level eyes.
— 02 / Credentials
City-trained. Priced like an independent.
Trained at Kirkland & Ellis in London; later an associate at Norton Rose Fulbright and in-house counsel at Natixis in Paris. Same standard of drafting — without the leverage model behind it.
