Investment Funds & Corporate

Gareth is a group partner in our Investment Funds & Corporate practice group where he specialises in complex fund and corporate structuring.
He advises fund managers, institutional investors and local financial institutions on the establishment, restructuring and ongoing operation of investment funds across a wide range of asset classes. Gareth also has extensive experience on relocating investment structures into and out of Guernsey, helping clients manage jurisdictional shifts with minimal disruption and regulatory risk.

In the private capital space, Gareth supports clients with the structuring of bespoke holding platforms, co-investment arrangements and carried interest vehicles, often involving multi-jurisdictional considerations and close coordination with onshore counsel. His work also extends to advising fintech and digital asset businesses on fund formation and regulatory positioning in a fast-moving environment.

Gareth also advises on a broad range of corporate transactions, with particular expertise in mergers and acquisitions involving regulated structures and international counterparties. He acts for buyers, sellers and investors across sectors, offering strategic guidance on deal structuring, regulatory approvals and post transaction matters, especially where fund or holding vehicle considerations are central to the transaction.
