Our team

Earlybird instructed Corvus to advise in connection with the establishment of its UK office, obtaining regulatory authorisation for the UK office from the FCA and the UK office’s sub-lease. Corvus also provide ongoing compliance advice. Corvus take a proactive, technical yet pragmatic approach to their advice and have worked closely and efficiently with Earlybird team members, our other advisers and our counterparties to deliver results.

“We’ve worked with Corvus on a range of matters including business as usual legal/operational support and transactional work. As a closed-ended funds specialist, Corvus understood our business from the start and were able to provide tailored, solution focused, risk adjusted advice. When picking external counsel to assist with a recent transaction, we had no hesitation in choosing Corvus.”

“Corvus worked closely with Federated Hermes Private Markets (formerly Hermes GPE) between February 2020 and August 2021. Corvus hit the ground running and quickly developed a deep understanding of our culture, commercial drivers and risk appetite, blending seamlessly with our investment, finance and tax functions. Corvus really felt like an in-house team and their practical, solutions-focussed advice was highly valued by the business.”

“Corvus have provided advice to us in connection with our cross-border client distribution exercises for a number of years. While this is a complex area with some significant grey space, Corvus aren’t afraid to take a view on difficult issues and suggest practical, operational outputs.”
