This program is an essential roadmap to preparing hedge funds and private funds for conducting business under a regulatory and law enforcement spotlight. Designed to help attendees prepare strategies for navigating the enhanced risk of government investigations, this year's panels will provide valuable, up-to-the-minute insight into the latest regulatory developments encountered by attorneys and compliance professionals working with hedge funds and private equity funds.
The faculty will share their insights into the latest government priorities and will provide tangible guidance for dealing with the evolving regulatory landscape. Discussions will take an in-depth look at current enforcement priorities from both sides of the table, addressing these priorities through the enforcer's perspective and then through the defense counsel's perspective.
They will address the latest trends for hedge fund and private funds, evolving issues in trading, regulatory reporting, disclosures, and conflict management and electronic communications recordkeeping obligations for private funds. They will also dive into the challenging legal ethics issues that frequently arise when overseeing the legal and compliance function or advising clients in the private fund sector.
Partner Steve Crimmins will be joining the panel "Ethical Issues in Representing Private Fund Advisers." This panel will address the legal ethics rules and issues that arise for attorneys when representing private fund advisers and their investment professionals in regulatory investigations. After completing this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify triggers for ethical conflict that can arise when advising clients in responding to regulatory inquiries
- Assess practical considerations and ethical pitfalls that arise in dual representations of entities and individuals in regulatory investigations
- Navigate potential disclosure obligations and options during regulatory investigations
