Fund Finance

Goodwin’s Fund Finance team advises fund managers and executives, general partners, banks, non-bank lenders, and others on loan facilities secured against investor commitments or fund assets.

We work with clients in the US, Europe, and Asia on subscription credit facilities (including co-mingled, single investor, and umbrella structures) and NAV, hybrid, and “asset-backed” fund facilities across a range of asset classes (including private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and private credit funds). Members of our Fund Finance team also structure and negotiate GP and manager-level facilities (including GP co-investment financings, partner loan programs, and management liquidity lines).

In situations that require cross-practice expertise, our Fund Finance team partners with Goodwin colleagues to ensure clients achieve their objectives. That includes working with secondaries lawyers on the financing aspects of secondaries transactions (such as back-levered preferred equity, continuation fund financing, and other innovative liquidity solutions); fund formation lawyers on the interplay of financing with fundraising and investor negotiations; and tax, regulatory, and ERISA lawyers on structuring fund finance solutions.
