Simpson Thacher was again profiled as a Law360 Fund Formation Practice Group of the Year. The profile noted the Firm as having “raised the bar on capital fundraisings” through its work with prominent sponsors around the globe on precedent-setting vehicles. The feature focused on the Firm’s role in several significant fundraisings, including the €9.8 billion Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe VI fund, which is the largest fund of its kind, as well as Platinum Equity’s $10 billion fifth flagship fund and Rockpoint Group’s two funds totaling nearly $6 billion, among others.

Michael Wolitzer, Head of Simpson Thacher’s Investment Funds Practice, noted that the Firm’s ability to advise clients around the world on their most significant and complex fundraisings is the natural byproduct of the Firm’s focus on building long-term relationships with clients, as well as on the cultivation of diverse experience in terms of fund structures, strategies and geographic focus. “We know the market, we’re set up to deal with the volume and that’s why those regular clients stick with us,” Michael said.
