02 Fund formation

U.S. Fund Formation

$15,000–30,000

The core U.S. fund: PPM, LPA/operating agreement, subscription docs, investment management agreement, privacy policy, Form D, entity formation, and funding instructions.

Cross-Border Master-Feeder Formation

$30,000–55,000+

The full cross-border build — U.S. feeder plus offshore master-feeder (with offshore counsel), investor-class structuring, blockers, and FATCA/CRS.

Fund Restructuring / Add-On

$8,000–20,000

Adding an offshore feeder or blocker to an existing fund, or restructuring mid-life.

Hedge funds carry extra layers. Open-ended funds trading securities or commodities may need state investment-adviser registration and, if trading commodity interests, futures, swaps, or many crypto derivatives, CFTC/NFA registration or exemption (CPO/CTA). Closed-end PE, VC, and real estate funds usually do not. Scoped as add-ons where the strategy triggers them.

03 Single-deal vehicles

$6,000–14,000

A single-asset vehicle for a co-investment, syndicate, or deal-by-deal raise — entity, agreement with deal economics, subscription docs, and funding instructions.

SPV Program / Series Setup

$15,000–30,000 setup

A reusable template for managers running frequent SPVs, so each new deal launches fast and cheap. Reduced per-SPV pricing after setup.

Cross-Border / Offshore SPV

$12,000–27,000

A single-deal vehicle with an offshore element or foreign investors, coordinated with offshore counsel.

04 Cross-border investment structuring the depth

The tax-driven structuring that decides whether a cross-border deal works. Design and implementation included.

Inbound Investment Structuring

$7,500–20,000

Real Estate Fund Structuring (FIRPTA)

$7,500–20,000

Inbound structuring for U.S. real estate funds and deals. Design and implementation included.

Drafting and negotiating LP side letters — MFN, fee, reporting, excuse, and co-invest provisions — and managing the MFN process.
