Morrison Foerster recently welcomed a new addition —Elizabeth Sipes— to their team. As per the latest reports, Sipes has been appointed as a partner with the private funds group under the transactions department located in Denver (Bloomberg Law).
Sipes carries an outstanding portfolio of representing private investment funds, investment advisers, and institutional investors. Her expertise lies in advising these entities on fund formation and launch in her capacity as a legal expert. This professional acumen is ingrained in her from her stint as an assistant vice president and senior legal counsel at Janus Capital Group, aside from being the firmwide chair of the private investment funds group at her preceding firm—Morrison Foerster.
Morrison Foerster is positive about this latest association and indicates Sipes’s inclusion as a bolstering move to enhance the company’s standing in the private fund space. With Sipes’s competence in managing and advising on private investment funds, the firm hopes to expand its capabilities and reach as she takes on her role as the new private funds partner.
The partnership announcement was made public last Wednesday, ushering in newfound avenues of growth and potential for the firm.
