Who We Are

We believe Sutherland has been involved with more BDCs and their advisers than any other firm in the country, and has worked closely with SBIC licensees and private equity managers contemplating the pursuit of alternative structures to fit a particular investing niche, corporate structure, or existing platform.  One of our greatest strengths is assisting issuers and their financial advisers to develop solutions given the facts and circumstances of a situation, and to do so efficiently and cost-effectively.

Sutherland has brought together a comprehensive team of attorneys from across the firm focused on every aspect of these complex, hybrid structures, including securities, investment company, investment advisor, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, tax, and employee benefits.  We believe the breadth and depth of our team is one of the strongest in the country.  To learn more, please feel free to contact any member of the BDC and Alternative Assets Practice Team.
