Hedge funds
Clifford Chance works with hedge funds at all stages of their life cycle.
As funds are established, we advise on licensing and fund structuring and formation work. As their activities mature, we can offer transactional, derivatives, securities, tax and ERISA capability, while continuing to advise managers on ongoing regulatory and compliance matters. We have also advised distressed debt investors through our restructuring practice.
Our deep day-to-day contact with regulatory bodies in key financial centres around the world and our close working relationships with prime brokers and various professional hedge fund industry associations, ensures that we are plugged in to the daily pressure points experienced by hedge funds.
In an era of unprecedented regulatory change in the investment management industry, we are focused on advising our clients on the potential impact of the EU Alternative Investment Fund Management Directive in Europe and the US Administration Proposals .
This deep level of industry connectivity allows us to provide the dynamic, responsive service from inception to downstream activity that our hedge fund clients have come to expect from us.
