Alice joined Linklaters in 2021 after gaining experience in law firms in Luxembourg and Brussels.

She specialises in structuring and restructuring alternative investment funds (regulated and unregulated) established as umbrella funds (with closed-ended and open-ended compartments) with a particular focus on ELTIFs, private equity, real estate, infrastructure and debt strategies funds. Alice advises major international fund managers and banks on regulatory matters (notably AIFMD) and leading US asset managers on the structuring and establishment of UCI Part II funds to be distributed for retail ELTIFs.
