Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe brings together a Private Funds Group and a broader Tech Companies Group to support both institutional investors and fund sponsors in private fund work. Co-headed by Dolph Hellman in San Francisco and Jim Jensen in Menlo Park and San Francisco, the team is particularly active in venture capital focused formations while also advising investors across buyout, real estate, infrastructure, and other alternatives, including co investments, separately managed accounts, and funds of one. The practice covers the core structuring and documentation pieces as well as the regulatory questions that tend to sit behind investor negotiations, including ERISA and CFIUS considerations where relevant. Washington DC’s Mary Wallace is a key advisor to a variety of public pension fund investors, and Orange County’s Kenneth Rasamny handles formation, operational and regulatory matters.
