Rami Turayhi has joined Milbank’s New York office as a partner in the firm’s corporate/M&A group, with a focus on investment funds and asset management.
“We warmly welcome Rami to Milbank,” Scott A. Edelman, chairman of Milbank, said. “Rami is a highly regarded practitioner with extensive fund formation experience and a strong reputation for advising premier clients on sophisticated, market-defining work. His arrival enhances the firm’s investment funds and asset management capabilities and positions us to support clients as fundraising structures and regulatory considerations continue to evolve.”
Turayhi advises sponsors and investment managers across a diverse range of private equity and hedge fund strategies and industries, including buyout, real estate, energy and infrastructure funds, funds-of-funds, single asset funds, as well as family office and co-investment vehicles. His practice also encompasses U.S. investment adviser formation and registration, the structuring of bespoke sponsor mechanics and carried interest arrangements, and the negotiation of funds-of-one and managed accounts to address complex commercial and investor considerations.
“Rami brings a sophisticated and well-rounded funds practice, with deep experience advising sponsors and investment managers across a wide range of strategies,” Dean Sattler, leader of the firm’s U.S. corporate/M&A group, said. “His experience aligns seamlessly with our clients’ needs and enhances our ability to deliver fully integrated advice across fund formation, M&A and other complex transactions.”
Turayhi said, “The opportunity to work alongside Milbank’s leading corporate, finance and industry teams is what drew me to the firm, and I am excited to help build out a full-service fund formation and investment funds offering for the firm’s sponsor and investor clients. I look forward to working with colleagues across the firm to serve our clients as their investment strategies and structures continue to develop.”
Turayhi earned his J.D. from Columbia Law School, where he was a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar and a staff editor of the Columbia Business Law Review, and his M.A. and B.S.F.S., magna cum laude, from Georgetown University.
