Hedge Funds

Sophisticated investors engaged in domestic and offshore hedge funds must navigate a maze of risk and liability. It requires understanding new rules and regulations. The lawyers at Hogan Lovells help you create a legal and structural framework in line with your objectives.

We represent hedge fund sponsors (both institutional and start-up), fund-of-funds, and institutional investors in a range of contexts. From complex investment strategies to fund formation and operation. From securities and regulatory inquiries to financial restructurings, insolvencies, and distressed acquisitions. Complex tax issues. Our global perspective and interdisciplinary approach helps position you for success in hedge fund matters.
