Private Equity & Investment Funds

Private Equity
& Investment Funds 

Fast, forward-looking counsel for the entire lifecycle of private capital. 

For private equity sponsors, emerging and first-time fund managers, independent sponsors, family offices, and portfolio companies. 

How do we help sponsors raise, deploy, and scale capital? 

Private capital moves on a strict clock. From fund setup to rapid-fire add-ons, delay kills momentum. Feighny Hartle works at the pace of private equity—combining institutional-grade fund formation with nimble, deal-focused execution that sees around corners before capital is deployed. 

Fund Formation: Built to Raise and Scale 

• Fund Structuring & Formation: Tailored LP/GP structures, offshore/onshore jurisdiction selection, and entity formation. 

• Offering & Raising Documents: Private placement memoranda (PPMs), operating agreements, subscription packages, and Regulation D compliance. 

• LP Negotiation & Side Letters: Streamlining investor negotiations to get to first close faster. 

• Forward-Looking Governance: Management company structuring, GP terms, and RIA considerations. 

Emerging Managers: Institutional Quality Without the Bloat 

First-time managers face a tough reality: LPs demand institutional-grade terms, but funds can’t afford big-firm overhead. We equip emerging managers and independent sponsors with modern, scalable fund architecture that satisfies sophisticated LPs today—and scales smoothly into Fund II. 

Deal Execution: Platforms, Add-Ons & Exits 

We keep platform expansion moving fast. Rather than re-inventing the wheel on every deal, we build efficient, repeatable playbooks for bolt-ons, recapitalizations, equity rollovers, and management incentive plans (MIPs)—positioning portfolio companies for seamless exits. 

Lean Portfolio Execution & GC Counsel 

Growth doesn’t stop between transactions. Supported by FH partners with former in-house GC experience at PE-backed companies, we act as an agile legal engine for portfolio companies—handling commercial agreements, executive incentives, and risk management without corporate drag. 

Real Asset, Energy & Digital Funds 

Fund success relies on asset-level truth. Whether structuring energy title/A&D plays, real estate platforms, or digital asset & tech strategies, our specialized sector attorneys work on the same line as our fund counsel—ensuring fund architecture aligns directly with underlying assets. 

“Capital has a clock on it, and sponsors can’t afford legal drag. We move at the speed of the market—staying with the fund from the first LP meeting to the final distribution.”
