Hedge Funds
Coming on the heels of an intensely tumultuous period for the
industry, hedge funds and their managers are revisiting their
business models in light of increasing demands from investors and
regulators alike. Nimble alternative investment vehicles require
nimble counsel who can help clear hurdles to success at every
pass.
SNR Denton lawyers know the industry. With extensive securities,
tax, regulatory and compliance knowledge, we bring a “treetops”
vantage point that is deeply rooted in a mastery of the law. We
provide counsel that considers both the technical details of each
issue and its greater implications.
Sophisticated global investing needs sophisticated global
lawyers. Our hedge fund lawyers provide the full range of legal and
policy advisory services to hedge funds, hedge fund investors and
hedge fund managers. With our leading Islamic finance practice we
are uniquely qualified to advise on Shari’ah-compliant hedge funds
in their transactional and compliance needs. We also have a strong
track record of advising service providers to funds, including
managers, advisers and prime brokers, as well as investors in
funds.
Our clients invest in all asset classes including fixed income,
equities and all kinds of derivatives of developed markets and
emerging markets, including Europe, North and South America, the
Middle East, Africa and former CIS countries. We have specialized
experience advising on investments in distressed assets, including
securitized assets and structuring and trading unusual asset
classes, such as Shari’ah-compliant investments, carbon credits and
litigation.
As funds contend with a difficult regulatory climate, our

practitioners to help them anticipate and adapt to this new world
order.
