Sovereign and Public Funds
Sovereign and other public investment funds
face unique requirements and heightened scrutiny in all of their
activities. SNR Denton has a unique, decades-long, history of
advising sovereigns at all levels of government across the
globe. At the national level, our niche is advising sovereign
investment funds as well as supra-national and quasi-governmental
organizations. Within individual states, we provide the same types
of assistance we provide to national governments, delivering a
level of sophistication and sensitivity not always available to
municipal fiduciaries.
Because the SNR Denton team has worked with
governments around the globe, we understand the risk sensitivities
and the strategic goals of sovereign investors. We understand
that what looks like a sensible portfolio decision within a
sovereign’s investment office may be perceived quite differently
elsewhere. To deal with some of the issues that arise in sovereign
investing, have a team of professionals who are focused on
strategic communications, a resource we believe to be unique among
legal service providers. Our communications team can work
hand-in-hand with our clients and our lawyers in helping sovereigns
to navigate the maze of public opinion when making investment
decisions.
While there is no continent on the globe where
our professionals have not been involved in acting for, or
interacting with, government finance vehicles, we are the largest
law firm in the Middle East, the only international law firm with
offices in all the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and we also
have the largest network of African associate firms of any legal
services provider.
