Combining ‘deep legal expertise with industry-specific knowledge’, Stellan Partners, which left the PwC network to become fully independent post-publication in July 2025, is well-placed to advise both established and first-time fund managers on fund formation and operational concerns, particularly in the alternatives space. Wim Ritz heads the practice, following the departure of previous lead Mathieu Scodellaro  in July 2025.
