Investment Management & Broker-Dealer

Shifting investment patterns, increased regulations, and emerging technologies continuously impact the securities and investment management industries. To help you navigate these changes, Kilpatrick Townsend’s Investment Management & Broker-Dealer Team provides straightforward, efficient solutions on all aspects of fund formation, investment advisory, transactional, regulatory compliance, and enforcement matters for registered and non-registered individuals and entities. With one of the largest practices in the Southeast, our attorneys handle the most complex corporate, regulatory enforcement, and litigation matters relating to international, national, and small-firm broker-dealers and their agents and affiliates. We advise a broad client base — investment advisers, broker-dealers, registered persons and professionals appearing before the SEC, mutual funds, ETFs, banks, insurance companies, public and private investment companies, and investment pools of all types, including institutional investment funds and family offices — giving us a unique perspective into the securities and investment management industries. This insight, coupled with our comprehensive industry knowledge and experience, allows us to help clients identify opportunities and solutions, manage and anticipate risks, and foster long-term relationships with government regulators, SROs, and policymakers.
