Investment Funds

Mintz represented Granahan Investment Management, a small cap equity investment boutique with $5.8 billion in assets under management, in the recently completed sale of a minority interest in GIM to Kudu Investment Management. GIM’s employees will continue to hold 75% of the equity in the firm.

Mintz represented Vida Ventures on the $600 million fundraise for its Vida II fund, which will be used to further the firm’s life sciences platform. Founded less than two years ago, Vida now has approximately $1 billion under management.

Mintz collaborated with a major institutional investor to develop a special purpose limited partnership vehicle. The investor shifted a significant portion of its commitments to other investors to the new structure, which is open to other investors, without incurring any discount penalty.

Mintz has obtained recoveries of several millions of dollars for institutional clients in non-US settlements since the US Supreme Court’s decision in Morrison v. National Australia Bank. These include the Tesco regulatory matter in the UK and Slater & Gordon in Australia.
