Expert guidance on a complex fund formation matter

Megan Devaney at Winston & Strawn provided excellent counsel during the formation of our new private equity fund. Her recognition in Private Funds/Hedge Funds Law is well-deserved; she demonstrated a deep, practical understanding of the regulatory landscape and structuring nuances specific to Chicago-based managers. She adeptly navigated the interplay between SEC regulations and our specific investment thesis, drafting documents that were both robust and clear. Her strategic advice during negotiations with our initial anchor investor was invaluable. While her expertise is top-tier, there were a few instances where response times on non-urgent emails stretched a bit longer than expected, likely due to her demanding caseload. Overall, her skill and professionalism made a significant positive impact on our launch, and I would confidently recommend her for sophisticated fund work.
