I will draft master fund and feeder fund legal documents
Licensed U S Attorney, Master Feeder Fund and Private Equity Structuring
About this Gig
Master-feeder architectures require seamless legal integration between the master fund entity and its feeder funds. Flawed governance documents cause operational friction, tax leakages, and allocator pushback.
I am Neil L. Arney, an active U.S. Attorney (State Bar No. #125682). I draft foundational legal governance contracts for domestic and cross-border master-feeder fund structures.
What I Draft:
Master Fund Limited Partnership Agreements (LPAs) and Operating Agreements
U.S. Onshore and Offshore Feeder LPAs with pass-through conduit clauses
General Partner (GP) Entity Operating Agreements and Manager Protections
Investment Management Agreements (IMAs) defining fee collection and authority
Capital call terms, default remedies, distribution waterfalls, and GP clawbacks
Never rely on generic templates that institutional allocators will reject. Get customized, attorney-drafted contracts tailored specifically to your fund mechanics.
Protect your GP and establish a compliant structure. Message me today through Fiverr with your fund specifications to get started.

FAQ
Can custom capital waterfall tiers be implemented?
Yes. I draft European-style (whole-of-fund) or American-style (deal-by-deal) distribution waterfalls, catch-up provisions, and hurdle rates according to your specifications.
Are GP indemnification and exculpation clauses included?
Yes. Standard institutional GP exculpation, indemnification, and liability limitation clauses are built in to insulate fund sponsors from fiduciary exposure to the fullest extent permitted by law.
What is included in the Investment Management Agreement (IMA)?
The IMA formally delegates investment management authority from the Master Fund and Feeder Funds to the Investment Manager entity, detailing fee payment and expense indemnification.
Can you draft governance documents for Delaware and offshore entities?
Yes. I regularly draft governance documentation for Delaware Limited Partnerships (LPs) and LLCs, aligning them with Cayman or BVI feeder structures.
How do the feeder agreements link to the master fund agreement?
The feeder LPAs contain conduit provisions requiring the feeder entity to invest substantially all of its investable capital directly into the master fund in exchange for master equity interests.
