Fueled by deep industry experience, Shartsis Friese creates innovative structures to support private credit and lending platforms.
The credit funds practice at Shartsis Friese LLP helps sponsors form, structure and operate funds and vehicles that originate, acquire or participate in credit investments. We advise on open-ended and closed-ended structures across asset-based lending, specialty finance and marketplace or peer-to-peer lending strategies.
As creative problem solvers, our work includes developing innovative fund structures that turn nontraditional asset classes into scalable private credit opportunities. We assist clients with complex tax and regulatory issues, including blocker entities, ECI and withholding concerns and compliance with state and federal lending laws.
In addition, we advise on liquidity management, valuation and the design of investor terms tailored to credit strategies. Our counsel extends to publicly traded and hybrid credit vehicles, helping sponsors structure platforms that deliver flexibility, compliance and investor confidence.
