Impact investing AuM continues to expand, as growing numbers of institutional investors begin to allocate capital to create measurable social and environmental impact alongside financial returns.
Through our social finance and sustainable investment practice – HSF Impact – we are proud to advise some of the world's leading impact investors and social finance intermediaries, and to act for a variety of corporates, finance providers, insurers, asset managers and other financial market participants as they launch and scale their impact investment strategies.
We offer our clients dedicated coverage across all jurisdictions and a full service offering, drawing on strength and expertise from our multi-disciplinary team to help navigate the broad range of complex legal and commercial challenges involved in this dynamic market.
We have significant experience advising on:
- the development, management, marketing and delivery of impact fund formations and fundraisings;
- structuring and executing impact-led portfolio investments and joint ventures; and
- documenting and negotiating social finance arrangements.
