BakerHostetler
With more than 25 years of experience representing and counseling investment managers and hedge funds, BakerHostetler understands the unique needs of the hedge fund industry. We offer a full panoply of integrated services specific to funds spanning from fund formation to investment strategy to regulatory compliance to litigation, as well as daily services most businesses require. Clients we service range from hedge funds to fund of funds, to investment funds that have portfolios which include commodities and alternative asset classes, such as consumer and commercial lending, distressed debt, derivatives, REITs and settlement payments.
Our hedge fund clients often look to us for their more traditional legal needs as well. Services we regularly provide include advising and counseling on data privacy, employee benefits, employment law, tax, intellectual property, and trade secrets. We also handle all forms of commercial, securities and investor litigation and arbitration.
Clients also turn to us for assistance in crafting policies and procedures, compliance and employee manuals, as well as advising on internal controls, regulatory filings, regulator examinations and compliance with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. We handle all forms of inquiry by the SEC and criminal prosecutors, including those arising from allegations of market abuses, fund valuation issues and insider trading, and defend our clients in any subsequent proceedings.
Our legal services in the hedge fund arena are bespoke to an individual client and circumstance, as we recognize that one size does not fit all. Our clients count on our experienced corporate, regulatory and finance lawyers, former SEC attorneys, prosecutors, IRS officials, and other specialized professionals to do exactly what is needed - - and nothing that’s not. With over 800 attorneys in eleven offices nationwide, BakerHostetler is the right choice for all your legal services needs executed on the highest standard.
