Investment Management/Securities Industry

With equally strong command of the buy and sell sides of the market, Morgan Lewis’s Investment Management/Securities Industry Practice serves a broad range of clients across the universe of investments and investment products. We represent companies that create and manage funds and investment products, money managers that advise millions of investors, brokerage firms that raise capital and distribute financial products, and financial markets where these products are traded. On the buy side, our clients include mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, insurance companies, and money managers of all kinds. On the sell side, we represent leading securities firms in all aspects of their businesses.

We offer precise, practical counsel grounded not only in an emphasis on creative and imaginative problem solving, but in the insight we derive from the sheer breadth and diversity of our practice, and in an interdisciplinary approach that efficiently channels the firm’s comprehensive knowledge of related industries and legal practices into each matter. Along with our regulatory- and litigation-focused practices, we draw on a Mergers and Acquisitions team that is well versed at managing securities and investment management deals. In recent years, we have represented clients in hundreds of transactions, including nearly 100 M&A deals involving broker-dealers, money managers, and mutual fund reorganizations.
