WASHINGTON , Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Ropes & Gray announced today that private funds lawyer Jonathan Rash has joined the firm in Washington, D.C. as a partner in its 300-lawyer global asset management practice. Jon, who has advised preeminent private funds in their flagship fundraises, brings significant credit and buyout fund experience to Ropes & Gray’s global private funds team.
“Jon is a great talent who will further strengthen our leading private fund formation practice with his excellence and client relationships. His experience, commercial acumen and collegiality make him the perfect fit for our culture,” said Julie Jones, chair.
Jon advises alternative asset managers on a wide range of complex matters, focusing on customized private fund structures, innovative cross-border offerings, and special strategic projects. He has represented sponsors of private funds on high-profile, multi-billion-dollar fundraises across alternative asset classes, including buyout, growth, infrastructure, credit, energy and real estate.
