International law firm Perkins Coie has added private funds partner Kerry Potter McCormick, who advises private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate funds, credit funds and funds-of-funds, to the firm’s corporate and financial regulation practices in New York.
She joins Perkins Coie from Barnes & Thornburg, having also previously served as a private funds and products counsel for Apollo Global Management.
Potter has experience advising fund sponsors and alternative asset managers on the launch and operation of investment structures and products, including private funds, funds-of-one, managed accounts and co-investment products. She advises on all aspects of the product life cycle, from early-stage funding and negotiations to wind-downs.
Potter is the latest private funds partner to join the firm in New York following the addition of private capital & fund formation practice chair Jacquie Duval in June.
