Career
As co-head of the firm’s global Fund Formation practice group, David Winter represents sponsors and investors across the fund formation spectrum. David was nearly eight years into his career as a tax lawyer when the firm asked him to take an expanded role in fund formation. He readily accepted and has never looked back.
David’s clients include multibillion-dollar private equity firms, first-time fund managers, university endowments, pension plans, banks, and small business investment companies , many of whom he has represented for more than 10 years.
Funds are partnerships in the truest sense of the word and this principle guides David’s practice. His experience advising both sponsors and investors arms him with the perspectives needed to craft creative and effective solutions. He believes in market neutral terms as a starting point for all funds, but when an off-market term is justified, David is adept at developing a solution that will satisfy all stakeholders. He particularly enjoys the civility and mutual respect that define the fund formation bar.
David’s sponsor practice is broad. He represents the sponsors of private equity, venture capital, energy, real estate, and debt funds. His clients include sponsors of sector-focused funds and opportunistic funds, domestic and foreign funds, complex parallel and co-invest structures, funds-of-funds, and funds-of-one.
David’s institutional investor clients include lead and anchor investors, strategic investors, passive term-takers, and everything in between. He tailors his advice and the scope of his work to match the needs of each client.
