Investment Management

Comprising leading financial regulatory and investment management attorneys, our team advises a wide range of clients who either offer or deal with investment opportunities and products. We craft and implement compliance solutions for an investment company, investment adviser and broker-dealer regulatory issues and related issues affecting banks, trust companies, pension funds and a host of investment and financial products.

Our team is actively involved in the establishment and day-to-day operations and activities of both investment funds and investment advisors. For funds, we design sophisticated investment vehicles for private funds to invest in public companies and pooled investment structures for direct or venture capital investments. For advisors, we assist in the establishment and initial registration with regulatory authorities and oversee acquisitions of other advisory businesses.
