Brian Kohn previously served as general counsel and chief compliance officer of an investment manager overseeing more than $2 billion in assets invested through a classic master-feeder structure. In that role, he advised on the full range of legal, regulatory, and business matters affecting the firm and its funds, including fund governance and operations, regulatory compliance, investments and transactions, investor matters, and employment issues. That experience gives us first-hand insight into the commercial realities facing investment managers and allows us to deliver practical advice informed not only by the law, but by a deep understanding of private fund operations, practices, and objectives.
