Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in the decisions of investors, companies, consumers, shareholders and policy and law makers. The broadly supported awareness of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) objectives is reflected in many international voluntary standards as well as in an increasing number of European regulations.

How we can help

We assist investors by thoroughly reviewing the key fund documents, e.g., limited partnership agreements, management regulations, shareholders agreements, etc., and the tax structure of the fund and its investment vehicles. We proactively flag any key governance, tax, regulatory and business items with the prospective investor. We typically address the investor’s demands or concerns as part of the side letter negotiations.

With an integrated approach that sets us apart in the market, we offer our clients a unique combination of legal, tax and regulatory advice.
Loyens & Loeff has a highly regarded Fund Regulatory Team exclusively focused on fund regulatory work.
Our firm has extensive experience in setting up investment fund structures.

“Together with Loyens, we have essentially invented a unique Venture Fund set-up, which was necessary due to our particular mandate, style, investors and the diverse geographies that we invest in. This has meant that Loyens has had to pull in partners from diverse practice groups to work with us as a flexible and fast-moving team. All of this is accomplished in a cohesive and collegiate fashion, that is distinct and much appreciated.”
