The Forum’s Steering Committee welcomes a select group of up to 44 elite-level private practice lawyers and in-house counsel with significant experience in private fund formation, operations and governance from across the US and Canada. The goal is to foster a community of the leading experts who are willing to collaboratively examine and resolve the complex challenges they face today.
Using candid, peer-driven discussion, this Forum explores key topics that will help develop successful GP-LP relationships in closed-end private funds.
This advisory group of leading practitioners drafted the Agenda and personally nominated all invitees to the Forum.

"The Forum is more than a conference - it is collaboration between top lawyers across the market coming together to move the market."
Tara Rosenblatt Chief Legal Officer Georgian Toronto, ON"I have always heard about the Forum and how different it is than a normal conference but it was hard to believe until I experienced it. Participants were excited and engaged and everyone brought different views to the table - all of which were respected, even when challenged. I walked away feeling enlightened by the different viewpoints that I have heard as well as excited to have an expanded network that I can reach out to going forward!"
