Hogan Lovells US LLP‘s growing investment funds practice stands out for its expertise advising Small Business Investment Company licensees and applicants on various fund formation and organizational matters. The team grew and added to its real estate capabilities significantly in November 2023, when Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP dissolved and New York-based partners across several departments joined Hogan Lovells, including infrastructure funds expert Richard Madris, Brayton Dresser, who focuses on real estate investment firms and David Olstein, who covers ERISA matters. Washington DC-based David Winter leads the team and has a broad practice representing both diverse sponsor and institutional investor clients. Further names to note are Bryan Ricapito and Madelyn Healy Joseph, both in Washington DC, Adam Brown in Northern Virginia, and venture capital expert Todd Schwartz, who joined the Silicon Valley office in September 2023 from Paul Hastings LLP.
