K&L Gates acts for global institutional investors, asset management firms and on behalf of fund sponsors on diverse private equity fund formations and launches, on senior loan investments and major transactions. A further strength of the firm is its cross-practice capabilities, where clients benefit from expertise across tax and regulatory on fund formation mandates. Four practitioners oversee the practice: in Washington DC are Mark Amorosi and Ndenisarya Bregasi, while Michael Caccese and Clair Pagnano are in Boston. Sasha Burstein is a key practitioner and is based in San Francisco, where she covers private equity funds, credit and distressed credit debt funds as well as hedge funds and Edward Dartley is based in New York and focuses on alternative investment asset classes for institutional investors and private fund managers.
