The asset management industry is the focus of our financial services practice. We advise clients in this sector on the law and regulation to which they are subject, as well as advising on the products, in particular investment funds they offer to their clients.
Our client base includes large institutional asset managers, private banks, medium sized asset managers as well as start up investment management firms. We are particularly well known in the area of private wealth and act for many of the key players in this market including a number of family offices.
We advise on the full spectrum of legal issues which impact asset management firms including for example the application of the FSA’s conduct of business rules, anti-money laundering requirements, financial promotion rules, unfair contract terms regulations, and FSA prudential requirements.
We can provide specialist advice across the range of legal services required by our clients, to include not only financial services advice; but also tax; corporate; employment; intellectual property and real estate advice.
