Welcomed as the first in-house general counsel in 2016, Chuck Moorse advises the platforms Norwest Equity Partners (NEP) and Norwest Mezzanine Partners (NMP), which have a combined $4.2 billion in assets under management. He's established a team that covers all aspects of the Minneapolis firm’s legal, compliance, and regulatory needs. Most recently, Moorse led legal and regulatory actions in transformative efforts for the firm. In September 2023, NEP and NMP created an independent entity, Norwest Capital Advisors, as a registered investment advisor. At the same time, Wells Fargo sold $2 billion worth of investments in certain NEP and NMP funds in a secondary offering, and several new limited partners were added to the firm’s funds. Global publication Private Equity International recognized this secondary transaction as one of the top three Secondaries Deal of the Year in the Americas for 2023.
