Position
Camille Higonnet is a partner in Proskauer’s Corporate Department and a member of the Private Funds Group.
Camille concentrates in the areas of corporate and securities law, with an emphasis on representing private investment fund sponsors in structuring funds and portfolio investment activities, as well as regulatory and compliance matters. Camille’s practice includes advising on marketing and fundraising as well as key trends in fund terms, conducting negotiations with investors, and advising on ongoing operational issues.
In addition, Camille represents both U.S. and non-U.S. institutional investors in their investments in private investment funds, as well as in connection with secondary market activities, including traditional portfolio sales, structured secondaries, synthetic secondaries and fund restructurings.
As businesses and asset managers globally continue to be impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Camille is a member of the firm’s Coronavirus Response Team, helping clients approach and respond to a broad scope of issues, including but not limited to in connection with The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Recognized for her leadership, innovative practice approach and expertise in representing private investment fund sponsors, Camille was named to PEl’s inaugural 40 Under 40: Future Leaders of Private Equity list. Camille is also a member of Proskauer’s Diversity Task Force and she is actively involved in Proskauer’s Diverse Lawyer Mentoring Circle Program (MCP) as a partner mentor to junior-level associates.
