Charles Edwards
Our firm engaged Edward Johnston at Gowling WLG to assist with the complex formation and structuring of a new private equity fund. From our initial consultation in Columbus, it was clear that Edward possessed a deep and practical understanding of the intricate regulatory and operational nuances specific to private funds. His five years of focused experience in this area were evident in his ability to anticipate challenges we hadn't even considered, particularly around investor agreements and compliance frameworks. While his recognition by Best Lawyers in Private Funds Law speaks volumes, it was his hands-on, strategic approach that truly impressed us. Edward was not just a legal advisor but a crucial partner, meticulously drafting documents and guiding our team through every negotiation. The process was seamless, and the fund closed efficiently, giving our investors tremendous confidence. We wholeheartedly recommend his services for any sophisticated fund matter.
