Drawing upon a ‘strong understanding of the private equity space’, the lean team at Ropes & Gray LLP provides a ’careful, bespoke and thoughtful service’ to international and regional fund managers, which are appreciative of the firm’s ability to provide ‘commercial rationale on the comments from counter-parties’ due to its additional work for investors. Team head Vincent Ip is pivotal to the firm’s success in the market and is ’able to understand/explain issues from a business perspective, helping clients make decisions based on balanced views and advice’. The ‘commercially minded’ Chune Loong Lum ’brings a deep understanding of the pan-Asian landscape to both sponsors and investors’, both through his time in the Hong Kong office, and during time spent in the Shanghai office.
