Investment Funds

                                    Creating investment vehicles that satisfy the diverse goals of investors located in jurisdictions
                                    throughout the world is an intricate undertaking.  As a large part of our practice, we counsel 
                                    sponsors, investment managers, underwriters, hedge funds, pension funds, and other institutional
                                    investors globally concerning the organization, structuring, and issuance of securities by a wide
                                    variety of investment fund vehicles. After funds are formed, we help ensure they operate smoothly
                                    and profitably by providing legal guidance to funds on their ongoing financing, trading, and 
                                    investment activities.

                                    Our lawyers help clients structure a wide variety of investment vehicles, including funds designed
                                    as partnerships, trusts, corporations, and limited liability companies.  In recent years, some of the
                                    largest growth in the investment fund industry has come from funds that invest in markets outside 
                                    of the United States as well as hedge funds and we have been a leader in creating and representing
                                    these types of investment funds. As a result of our expertise in these areas, we are able to provide 
                                    our investment fund clients with crucial guidance on local laws in numerous jurisdictions including
                                    Hong Kong, Switzerland, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guernsey, Cayman Islands, Jersey, BVI, Barbados, 
                                    and Mauritius.
