I love mikeoss.com . it’s not Legora (or Harvey). neither is Claude. each have their place. they are not cannibalizing each other. at least not yet. I have all three. only one, rn, can service a big law firm. I am all-in on building our tech future. it will take time. frontier models will rise up the legal value chain. it will take time. there are tools raring to go today. and law firms are getting dragged for spending a little cash? am I doing a Legora ad? we are officially in bizarro world.

lt was my pleasure to join a webinar hosted by Praxio Law & Tax as part of its Fund Finance Series on Rated Note Feeders and similar structured funds. As alternative asset managers look to expand their investor bases and access institutional capital, these structures are increasingly in demand, particularly among insurance companies and other regulated investors seeking rated exposure to private market strategies. Rated Note Feeders (RNFs), Collateralized Fund Obligations (CFOs) and other private/public distribution models are becoming a critical tool for sponsors looking to build at scale with capital efficiency. As this market matures, the participants who understand the interplay between structuring, ratings, and equity and debt financing will be best positioned to capitalize on the opportunity. The A&O Shearman fund finance practice is at the forefront of this quickly evolving market segment and we are always happy to discuss current trends - please reach out!
