I advise investment funds and investment managers on every part of their business, including establishment of managers and funds, fund/product formation, corporate and regulatory matters, and business life cycle events, thanks to my involvement with a wide range of strategies and structures.Prior to returning to private practice, I was at a leading fund platform as General Counsel and Head of Compliance and then as chief operating officer of an alternative investment fund.A key aspect of my practice focuses on regulatory advice. Having served as a Chief Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Officer (CF10 & 11) for FCA regulated firms for seven years, I have actual experience of dealing with regulators and regulatory issues as both a practitioner and as an approved person.In addition, I advise on cryptocurrencies and blockchain related issues, especially regarding their regulation. My can-do approach combined with my unique background, in-house experience and regulatory knowledge means I am ideally suited to advising clients on the issues raised in this innovative and fast-moving field.
