Private Funds CFO presents the Legal Rising Stars class of 2023

As the private funds industry becomes ever more complex, having a sage legal adviser in place has become crucial to remaining competitive.

Navigating fluctuating regulatory changes, considering the impact of changing limited partnership agreements, and managing GP and LP relationships are all part of the remit for the modern private funds lawyer. But some in the industry today are going above and beyond for their clients – and all are only just at the start of their legal careers.

To highlight these up-and-comers who will steer the future of the private funds industry, Private Funds CFO decided to dust off its Legal Rising Stars list and pull together a fresh directory of today’s legal powerhouses.

Earlier this year, we asked the industry to nominate their peers, colleagues and even rivals for the revamped list. The quality of the submissions highlighted the amount of talent that exists in the legal industry today, both in-house and at external law firms, but ultimately we narrowed down the list to highlight 20 leading lawyers.

The class of 2023 includes individuals who stood out for their leadership, innovation and legal expertise, as well as the caliber of their mandates and their general market reputation. All are under the age of 40 and the listees are based all over the world.

We are proud to introduce this year’s powerlist of Legal Rising Stars and look forward to seeing what they achieve next.
