Meet the Team

  • Our private fund executive team has more than three decades of private fund corporate, securities law and fund manager business and legal know across the fund manager organization
  • Our Managing Partner, Gary W. Mair, Esq., has served as General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Chief Operating Officer for hedge funds, private equity firms, and global institutional asset managers, including BNP Paribas, Nikko Asset Management, and Anchor Risk Advisors and its  strategic relationships with XL Re.   Over more than three  decades, Gary Mair has built private fund manager frameworks, launched master-feeder structures, and helped managers win institutional allocations — as the executive responsible for getting it right, not just as outside counsel.
  • Every client works directly with attorneys who’ve actually held General Counsel, CCO, or COO roles inside funds — not associates learning the role for the first time on your matter. We extend capacity through a bench of trusted specialist and of-counsel relationships as a matter requires it, so you get the resources of a larger firm without paying for overhead you don’t need. Every client relationship is also covered by more than one team member, so there’s no single point of failure if your primary contact is unavailable.  We’ve supported managers at every stage — from first-time emerging managers launching a standalone fund to institutional platforms managing billions in AUM — so scaling with you as you grow isn’t hypothetical; it’s what we already do.
