Launched in 2022 following the dissolution of Wildgen, Pinsent Masons' fledgling investment funds team has quickly gained traction in the market, providing a 'very responsive and pragmatic service' to fund mangers on the formation and ongoing regulatory work associated with a range of alternative strategies. The team also forms an increasingly important part of the firm's global strategy, regularly working alongside key international offices including London. 'Client and results-focused' team head Benoît Rose has 'a 360 degree view of the investment fund industry' generated through private practice and in his time in-house, ensuring that he is able to provide advice on both the fund manager and institutional investor side. Jan Saalfrank also has 'excellent industry knowledge', including for German speaking clients.
