Investment funds and Contract Law, we had the privilege of assisting a European family office syndicate, managing a 900MUSD Luxembourg PE feeder fund.
The client's instruction was two fold:
Drafting an employment agreement for the feeder fund’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and a detailed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Both documents were critical to the syndicate’s operations and required our utmost attention.
The employment agreement was a delicate balance of safeguarding the syndicate’s business secrets and ensuring a fair and motivating compensation scheme for the CIO. We incorporated comprehensive restrictive covenants to protect the syndicate’s proprietary information, while also devising a staged compensation scheme that aligns the CIO’s performance with the syndicate’s financial goals.
Notably, the restrictive covenants were calibrated with updated UK case law.
The NDA, on the other hand, was drafted with a strict bias in favor of the client. We included robust non-circumvention language to prevent any potential misuse of the disclosed information. The NDA was to serve as a solid wall of protection for the syndicate’s sensitive information.
We are proud to have contributed to the syndicate’s journey and look forward to supporting more businesses in navigating the private equity and family office legal landscape.
