Clifford Chance hires partner Charles B. Tanenbaum, enhancing US Funds & Investment Management practice

Global law firm Clifford Chance has hired partner Charles (Chase) B. Tanenbaum, further expanding its Funds & Investment Management practice in the US.

Tanenbaum arrives from Kirkland & Ellis, bringing more than a decade of experience advising asset managers on a range of matters including fundraises across a spectrum of strategies. His areas of focus include private equity, credit, real estate, co-invest structures, fund-of-one structures and single asset vehicles.

Tanenbaum regularly guides clients through a variety of commercial, legal and operational matters. He advises sponsors on complex "upper tier" arrangements and has represented investment firms in their investment management M&A transactions, and on sales of minority stakes.

Clifford Chance's Global Head of Funds & Investment Management Alexandra Davidson says, "Chase's broad and deep experience across multiple structures and asset classes will complement our strong US offering and help us to continue serving our ever-growing client base within and outside the US at the highest possible level. We are delighted that he is joining our team."

Michael Sabin, Co-Head of US Funds & Investment Management, says, "We are excited to welcome Chase to the team. His experience in private fund formation will be immensely helpful for our sponsor clients. Further, his comprehensive knowledge in strategic transactions involving private fund managers will enhance our team's offerings as private equity firms and asset managers go through succession planning, minority investments and other transformational transactions."

Tanenbaum says, "I'm eager to join a global funds platform so seamlessly integrated, highly regarded and well positioned in the market. I look forward to joining the firm and collaborating with the team as we expand our funds offerings in the US and globally."
