Balderton's Dickinson joins Amadeus
Carl Dickinson has left Balderton Capital to become general counsel at tech-focused venture firm Amadeus Capital Partners.
Amadeus stated it had created the role in order to maximise transparency and legal compliance. This will extend to both transactions and fund documentation, and Dickinson will also focus on regulatory compliance.
Amadeus CEO Anne Glover stated that the growth of the business in emerging markets and the US has made stronger legal oversight and increased transparency to LPs priorities. Transparency and reporting in the private equity industry have been in the spotlight recently, with trade body Invest Europe unveiling updated reporting guidelines for GPs in its 2015 Professional Standards Handbook last week.
Prior to joining Amadeus, Dickinson held a similar role at Balderton Capital, providing legal counsel to the team on new deals and portfolio management. He had joined the company in 2013, following an eight-year stint at SJ Berwin in London. Dickinson initially trained with Eversheds between 2003 and 2005.
