Tax
Private funds must contend with a wide array of specialized and interlocking tax considerations. Schulte’s Tax Group helps private capital clients navigate these complexities at every step. From fund formation to deployment to exit, transactions, financings and other relevant matters and issues, we draw on an encyclopedic knowledge of fund structures to develop solutions that fit both innovative investment strategies and the different tax compliance requirements of a wide range of investors.
Our reach extends from the upper tier, where we advise on compensation and other issues, to the portfolio company level, where we collaborate with our M&A practice in the tax-efficient acquisition, restructuring and disposition of assets. Our extensive experience in the specialty finance area affords us the ability to structure transactions and collaborate with our Finance Group to create tax efficient, bespoke financing opportunities. And our deep familiarity with the spectrum of alternative asset classes such as litigation funding, life settlements, music royalties and more traditional asset classes of real estate, unsecured consumer debt and REITs, as well as our experience with complex financing vehicles and securitizations, enable us to help investment managers achieve their objectives throughout a fund’s lifecycle.
In addition, a presence in London gives us critical cross-border capabilities for both fund formations and transactions. And through our work with our clients, we collaborate closely with Schulte’s individual client services, education and nonprofit practices to advise foundations, charities and educational and cultural institutions on complex tax issues.
