Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright said it has advised Truleum Venture Partners Limited on the launch of Seven Stars Fund CEIC, described as a DFSA-regulated, DIFC-domiciled tokenized private credit fund.
According to the firm, Seven Stars Fund CEIC is intended to provide asset-backed financing to UK SRA-registered law firms and FCA-regulated claims management companies for portfolios of high-volume, short-duration legal claims.
Norton Rose Fulbright said the fund targets £250 million in size, with a hard cap of £400 million. The release adds that participating shares are issued as SST Tokens using the ERC-3643 token standard.
The firm also named service providers involved in the structure. Tokeny S.à r.l. is described as the token platform provider, while Apex Fund Services (Dubai) Ltd. is identified as the administrator. The fund is said to be offered via private placement to Professional Clients only.
Legal team and regulatory support
Norton Rose Fulbright said its funds team advising Truleum Venture Partners was led by partner Geoffroy Hermanns, supported by counsel Shakir Mogalia and associates Dale Deplitch, Bita Mozafari and Bryan O’Shea. The firm added that partner Matthew Shanahan advised on regulatory matters.
