Private Fund Transactions
Torys’ private fund transactions group advises institutional investors, sponsors, funds of funds and secondary investors on a variety of cutting-edge private equity-focused investment strategies and other complex fund-related transactions.
Overview
We work with Canada’s most prominent funds as well as our deep bench of sponsor clients on all aspects of an expanding array of private fund transactions—from secondary transactions and liquidity solutions to co-investments and GP-stakes transactions.
Our advice is based on decades of broad-based experience advising with respect to alternative asset classes and reflects the efficient, commercial and collaborative approach Torys’ clients have grown accustomed to from our work in the fund formation and direct private equity spaces.
