What practitioners struggle with

Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Passthrough addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.

Fund formation partner closes a $200M fund with 40 LPs — each investor gets a 50-page subscription agreement that needs to be customized based on their entity type, tax status, and regulatory jurisdiction, and the paralegal spends 3 weeks chasing investors for correct signatures, missing pages, and illegible responses before the fund can actually close

Filing & Compliance Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200) · BigLaw (200+) · in-house-counsel

Fund manager's compliance team needs to verify KYC/AML for every LP in a new fund — 40 investors across 12 jurisdictions, each with different beneficial ownership structures, and the 31 CFR deadline is approaching while half the investors haven't submitted their compliance documentation
