The regulatory team at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP has been strengthened by the recent arrival of new practice head Prem Mohan and Reva Raghavan. Credited for its ‘commitment to personalised client service and responsiveness’, the team delivers a range of regulatory guidance — including FCA compliance and change in controls applications — working with a host of fund and asset managers across a range of sectors spanning healthcare, insurance, financial services, tech, and payments. ’One of the most highly regarded practitioners in the market’, Mohan draws on his deep experience to represent private investment fund sponsors on regulatory matters related to fund structuring, co-investment arrangements, restructurings, liquidity solutions, secondary transactions, and strategic minority investments. Raghavan supports a number of sponsors with regard to fund formation matters and alternative investment strategies, guiding them through complex regulatory and sustainability disclosure requirements.
