Like Cooley, my counsel on private investment fund formation has become increasingly global in nature.
About Jordan
Jordan’s practice is concentrated on the formation and representation of private investment funds – primarily venture capital and growth equity funds – in the US, Greater Asia and Middle East/North Africa regions. Over the last 20 years, he has acted in a leading legal capacity in the raising of more than $100 billion in private fund interests across a multitude of investment areas, primarily focusing on technology, healthcare and life sciences.
