At Reed Smith, we can provide you with assistance and guidance on a wide variety of financial issues, including regulatory matters, establishing or reorganizing funds, product development, transactional work, internal training, and other investment management-related work.
Our international investment management lawyers are authorities in handling regulatory, investment advisory, distribution and sales, insurance products, private/hedge funds compliance, securities, financial services, transactional, banking, corporate, fiduciary, and tax matters.
We offer unmatched depth, experience, and operational understanding of the laws and rules that apply to mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, commodity pools, institutional accounts, separately managed or wrap-fee accounts, insurance products, hedge funds, private equity funds and other alternative investment products. As such, we can also help clients like you – investment advisers, banks, trust companies, broker-dealers, and related service providers – who manage, offer or service such products.
If your business is located or operating in the United States, our lawyers are particularly experienced with the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities Act of 1933, Sarbanes-Oxley, and The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its related rules, as well as state and federal tax law, and other applicable laws and regulations. By contrast, if your business is located or operating in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, our lawyers are particularly experienced with the securities, banking and other equivalent laws in those jurisdictions. Regardless of where your needs arise, we can provide you to an access to a wide network of counsel.
