PRACTICE AREAS
HEDGE FUNDS
Our nationally recognized hedge funds practice is built on providing best-in-class service to our clients.
We advise hedge fund managers across all asset classes, ranging from startup and emerging managers to institutional fund advisers. We partner with our clients to structure domestic funds as well as offshore funds in the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and other non-U.S. jurisdictions.
At CLG, we excel in providing our clients with the best of both worlds: Sophisticated, innovative legal counsel combined with the accessibility and transparent fee structure of a boutique law firm.
