What is Unique About SRZ?
Several attributes distinguish SRZ from our peers:
- We are preeminent in the field.
- We represent both sponsors and investors.
- The core of our fund practice is composed of approximately 100 lawyers (including 20 dedicated partners and special counsel).
- Client teams are interdisciplinary, drawing on expertise in such areas as regulatory, tax, ERISA, financing, business transactions and reorganization, derivatives, employment law, executive compensation, estate planning, intellectual property, litigation and anti-money laundering.
- Our expertise extends across all investment and financing strategies.
- We place as much emphasis on structuring the fund management entity (and assuring its successful operation) as we do on properly structuring the funds to suit their investment strategies.
