Mateja Maher has joined Sidley as a partner in its Investment Funds practice and is based in Sidley’s London office.

Maher joins from Campbell Lutyens, a private capital adviser focused on fund placement and secondary advisory services, where he has served as general counsel since 2017. Previously, he was a partner in the private funds group at Kirkland & Ellis International.

During his career, he has acted on a number of landmark fundraising and secondary transactions ranging from tens of millions to several billion U.S. dollars in size.

“Mateja’s vast knowledge of private funds and secondary transactions, coupled with his blend of private practice and in-house experience, will be a beneficial resource for advising clients on their most complex matters,” said William Kerr, global leader of Sidley’s Investment Funds practice and member of the firm’s Executive Committee. “Our continued investment and growth in private funds provides a wealth of opportunity for talented lawyers such as Mateja to add value.”
