At Perry AI (https://www.useperry.com/), we're building the legal OS for the multi-trillion dollar private markets ecosystem with a mission to accelerate fundraising and deals by 10x. Perry is VC-backed, AI-native and built exclusively for funds, their sponsors, LPs and their respective law firm advisors.To build Perry, I bring over 15 years of domain experience as a funds-focused corporate lawyer at top global law firms (incl. Debevoise & Plimpton and Simmons & Simmons) representing some of the largest funds and asset managers in the world incl.: BlackRock, Brookfield, Invesco, CD&R, HarbourVest, First Sentier, and Helios, among others, along with a secondment to Deutsche Bank's then secondaries PE group in London (which spun out to become Glendower Capital --> now part of CVC). I also built a law firm group from 0 --> $1m in revenue. I'm qualified in three key global jurisdictions: NY, England & Wales, and India; bringing deep cross-border expertise and market access. LL.M., Columbia Law School (High Honors) and a business “mini-MBA” from Columbia Business School. Recognised in leading global legal directories.If you’re interested to explore the intersection of AI, law, and private markets, let’s connect!
