The 'brilliant' investment funds team at Webber Wentzel, led by Michael Denenga, acts from within the firm’s private equity practice, which is led by Nicole Paige. Denenga has an excellent track record in advising on the formation of Africa-focused investment funds, and is equally adept at handling cross-jurisdictional fund formation mandates. Paige is a key contact for secondary fund transactions, and Ashford Nyatsumba regularly acts for private equity firms and asset managers in private equity fund formation matters across a range of sectors, including healthcare and infrastructure.
