Seyfarth Shaw LLP

Seyfarth Shaw LLP runs a predominantly investor side platform through its Institutional Investor team, chaired by Steven Richman in Atlanta, and brings a sizeable bench to high volume private markets activity with support from Robert Bodansky. The group advises institutional investors on fund commitments across private equity, real estate, infrastructure, venture and private credit, including co-investments, secondaries, joint ventures and funds-of-one. The firm also stands out for combining private funds advice with direct real estate capability, supporting clients with significant allocations to property acquisitions, disposals and joint venture structures alongside commingled fund programmes. Chicago-based Michael Jordan has a broad practice spanning venture, growth, buyout, real estate and credit funds, while Atlanta’s Matthew Cohen is a key contact for institutional investors, with particular expertise in Middle East-focused funds work.
