Today's challenges for asset managers

In order to succeed in an increasingly international, technology-enabled and heavily regulated industry, asset managers have to continuously reinvent themselves. The challenges faced include capitalising on opportunities arising from fast-growing international markets, developing innovative new products, ensuring regulatory compliance and managing risks.

How we can help

We are one of the largest City teams focusing on fund management and financial services regulation, covering the full spectrum of institutional, retail and alternative investment funds and the regulation governing the managers of such funds. Having been at the forefront of investment fund product development and regulatory interpretation for the industry since the 1960s, we bring an innovative and proactive approach in working with our clients. We are involved at the highest level in the industry helping shape regulation; we were retained by the FSA to work with them on the COLL Sourcebook.

In recognition of the breadth of expertise of the team, its broad experience and established market presence, the team won the Funds Management Team of the Year category at the Financial News Legal Awards – Europe 2007. The award recognises excellence in the provision of accurate and commercial legal advice by those working in private practice.
