Choate Adds Former DLA Piper Lawyer Brooke Lang to Fund Formation Team
Choate has added Brooke Lang to its Investment Management and Fund Formation practice, expanding the firm’s private equity and fund formation bench in Boston. Lang brings experience advising sponsors and institutional investors on fund formation, structuring, investor negotiations and regulatory matters.
Why it matters: - Choate is strengthening its private equity and fund formation capabilities as sponsors and investors navigate more complex fundraising structures. - Lang’s background adds experience across fund formation, capital raising, and related transactions for clients using a wide range of investment vehicles.
What happened: - Choate welcomed Brooke Lang to its Investment Management and Fund Formation practice. - Lang joined from DLA Piper, where she practiced in the private investment funds group. - The move was announced July 23, 2026, from Boston.
The details: - Lang advises sponsors and institutional investors on the formation, structuring and ongoing management of investment funds. - Her work also covers investment advisers and joint ventures involved in fund formation and investor negotiations. - Her practice spans hedge funds, private equity firms, funds-of-funds, real estate ventures, credit funds, technology funds, debt funds, venture and early-growth funds, and single-investor structures. - Lang also advises clients on regulatory compliance and governance matters. - At DLA Piper, Lang advised sponsors and institutional investors through the full life cycle of fund formation, including diligence, offering documents, side-letter negotiations and post-closing matters. - Lang earned her J.D., summa cum laude, from Suffolk University Law School and a B.S. from Northeastern University. - Lang is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C.
Between the lines: - Lee Feldman, chair of Choate’s Private Equity and M&A Practice, said Lang’s experience across the full life cycle of fund formation and her work on complex structures make her a strong fit for the team. - Lang said Choate’s private equity and fund formation practice has a premier reputation and a deep track record with sophisticated fund structures. - The hire suggests Choate is continuing to invest in advice for clients that need support on both fund design and investor-facing negotiations.
What's next: - Lang is expected to support Choate clients on fundraising, fund structuring, regulatory issues and ongoing fund operations. - The addition may help the firm compete for sponsor-side and institutional investor work as private markets remain active and structurally complex.
