Tax expertise is essential at every stage of the fund lifecycle. Our network of tax professionals focused on investment funds provides cross-border tax advice for funds.

Our tax lawyers work with the global Clifford Chance LLP funds team to structure, document and negotiate a wide range of funds-related transactions.

Our key areas of focus:

• Structuring: advising on fund structuring, considering the fund’s investment strategy and the needs of different investor classes and management.
• Investor requirements and negotiations: accommodating investors with different tax profiles and needs, balancing differing (and often competing) concerns.
• Management and advisory structures: advising on the tax treatment of management and advisory arrangements, including VAT, local tax risks for the fund and investors, and internal house tax matters for asset managers.
• Executive participation: structuring multi-jurisdictional carried interest and co-investment plans.
• Investment structuring: advising on 'below the fund' investment structuring across a range of strategies.
• Investment into funds: advising global investors on the tax aspects of their investments into funds.
• Liquidity solutions: advising sponsors and investors on the tax aspects of liquidity solutions for funds, including secondaries, NAV financing, continuation funds and GP stakes.
