Private funds
Biography: Private funds
Jason Glover has been a partner at Clifford Chance since 1998, immediately prior to which (and uniquely amongst UK lawyers in private practice) he spent three years working in the private equity industry. As operations director for AIFAL (then the second largest private equity manager in Asia), he was responsible for the day-to-day operational management for several funds including Asian Infrastructure Fund (US$ 780 million). Further commercial experience was gained as COO of what is now Duke Street Capital, where his role included active fundraising for an LBO fund which quadrupled funds under management.
Jason's practice focuses on advising fund managers and investors on the establishment and operation of private equity funds. He represents some of Europe's leading managers including Actis, Barclays Private Equity, Charterhouse, Duke Street Capital, EQT, Lehman Brothers, Permira, Royal Bank of Scotland and STAR Capital. On the investor side his clients include PPM Ventures, UBS and Capital Dynamics. Jason's practice also includes structuring complex employee leveraged co-investment plans for leading global banks as well as advising fund managers seeking to establish 'carried interest' and other compensation plans. Also he has advised a number of management teams on their spin outs from institutions.
Jason is co-chair of the IBA Private Funds Committee and was recently identified by Private Equity International as one of the 30 most influential lawyers in private equity.
