Schulte Lawyers Update Definitive Book on Formation, Operation and Regulation of Hedge Funds

Schulte lawyers have updated their comprehensive book on hedge funds, Hedge Funds: Formation, Operation and Regulation, published by ALM’s Law Journal Press. Addressing legal and practical issues of importance to counsel for both sponsors and investors, the book explains the complete spectrum of hedge fund investment structuring, operation and regulation.

Since the first funds were established over 60 years ago, the hedge fund industry has grown dramatically in size and complexity. More than just a passing phenomenon, hedge funds are now an important part of global asset management; and increasingly the focus of new legislation and regulation. This up-to-date and forward-looking guide explains topics including hedge fund investment strategies, domestic and off-shore hedge fund structure and tax considerations, terms, fees, and related considerations for sponsors and investors, regulatory requirements and fiduciary obligations of investment advisers, fund documentation, including marketing materials, offering memoranda, governing documents and related and agreements; and structuring a hedge fund management company.

The Schulte authors represent a broad range of practices and include investment management partners Stephanie Breslow, Jennifer Dunn, David Efron, Marc Elovitz, Christopher Hilditch, Daniel Hunter, Jason Kaplan, Anna Maleva-Otto, David Nissenbaum and Paul Roth, special counsel Patrick Dundas and associate Christopher Avellaneda; broker-dealer regulatory & enforcement special counsel David Sieradzki; employment & employee benefits partners David Cohen, Ian Levin and Holly Weiss; finance partner Daniel Oshinsky; litigation partner Gary Stein and lawyer Betty Santangelo; M&A and securities partner Peter Halasz and special counsel Gregory Kinzelman and Adriana Schwartz; finance & derivatives partner Craig Stein and associate Sean Locklear; and tax partners Philippe Benedict and Shlomo Twerski, special counsel David Griffel and associate David Wermuth and former Schulte lawyers Brian Daly, Brad Caswell, Theodore Franzese, Kenneth Gerstein, Lawrence Goldberg, Seetha Ramachandran, Max Schwartz and Joseph Vitale.
