DLA Piper’s Secondaries practice is hosting an exclusive roundtable discussion with Harris Williams, a global investment bank with secondaries expertise, and HWF Partners, a top secondaries insurance broker, to discuss their experiences with first-time continuation funds.

The roundtable will also feature Richard Schnuerer, Founder of Starrlight Advisory, who served as CFO of Savant Growth during its multi-asset continuation fund process. Richard will speak about his experiences from the standpoint of a fund manager.

The roundtable will provide a high-level view of the following topics and more:

• Preparing for your first continuation fund
• How an intermediary can assist with a successful continuation fund
• The role of representations and warranty insurance in a continuation fund deal
• Tax structuring and impact on the management team

Following the roundtable, attendees are invited to join us for a networking and cocktail hour.
