Can you recommend resources for GP side fund structuring or typical GP side funds work in general? I am also interested in aspects of GP side work that may differ from LP side work.

Debevoise’s guide to funds is pretty solid. Overall, GP side has actual drafting docs, as opposed to preparing comment memos and side letter requests.

More funds, generally, but Private equity fund formation by Jonathan rash is probably the best and worth the money as a desk reference. Mastering private equity is also good. If you haven’t read the ILPA docs, those are helpful. PLI has lots of helpful cle’s that feel applicable to GPs. If you are looking for upper tier stuff, that’s trickier to find good information about since its sponsor specific and mostly tax. If you are familiar with all of the above, sounds like you’re well versed in GP issues from your LP experience.

What exactly are you looking for? As a4 mentioned the debevoise guide is pretty solid, but also fairly elementary. I think if you have been on the LP side, you should be relatively familiar with structuring. If anything more familiar since you have seen a variety of forms as opposed to one law firm using their forms to just update

I was curious about the step by step structuring and thought process behind it. As A7 mentioned, a big part of it is Tax. Was hoping for someone to discuss in lay terms and perhaps elaborate on unique aspects of the deal that swayed the structuring one way or another.

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
