Editorial Feature
Editorial: Private Funds
Despite 2007’s credit crunch, the funds area remains vibrant. Who’s Who Legal’s analysis of the private funds area confirms the continuing dominance of the London and New York markets in this field and we note a trend towards international expansion among many of the most established firms. A significant number of US firms have made the acquisition of UK talent a priority and many of America’s stalwarts are also looking still further afield; rapid market growth is reflected in the increased representation in areas such as Hong Kong and India – both currently enjoying an injection of capital – while long-standing funds centres such as the Cayman Islands maintain solid positions in our rankings.
