Lang's appointment represents a targeted expansion of Choate's capabilities in serving institutional sponsors and asset managers navigating the formation and ongoing management of private investment vehicles.
Lang's practice focuses on domestic and international private investment funds across the full spectrum of their lifecycle—from initial formation and structuring through active management and restructuring. Her experience encompasses a broad range of alternative asset structures, including hedge funds, fund-of-funds, credit funds, real estate ventures and investment trusts, co-investment vehicles, special purpose vehicles, technology funds, debt funds, and venture capital structures.
