T&L’s lawyers are skilled in all aspects of the creation, structuring and distribution of alternative investment products including hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds, mutual funds, commodity pools and real estate development funds.  We understand the constantly evolving regulatory environment, and we draw upon our collective experience in interpreting and applying partnership, corporate, securities, and finance law to achieve every client objective.

From initial organization and funding, through managing extraordinary growth – we work closely with our clients to design not only the most appropriate and suitable fund structure, but to ensure that fund terms comport with asset class and investment strategy.  Our clients find our founding attorneys’ unique understanding of financial markets, instruments and products enable T&L to provide them with legal advice that is based on business practice, not just legal theory.

We help clients understand and navigate relationships between fund managers, administrators, investors and custodians – in addition to the complex regulatory, operational and legal issues faced by fund managers and investors.

The experience of the firm’s founding partners, as well as our key relationships with prime brokers, placement agents, administrators, auditors, consultants, capital providers, investors, and other industry players, sets our firm apart from others who offer legal services to the alternative investment management industry.
