Lauded by one client for the 'very strong involvement of senior members in negotiations', the team at Simmons & Simmons advises European and global sponsors on the establishment of private funds. In addition to traditional fund structuring and regulatory matters, the group is equipped to advise on structures incorporating long-dated, evergreen, multi-currency, and levered/unlevered parallel arrangements. Agnès Rossi steers the practice and focuses on the structuring and establishment of mid-market and large private equity funds. She is supported by Marcela Moraru, who is praised for her 'excellent technical expertise' and also has knowledge of complex international fund structures.
