Faegre Drinker maintains a multidisciplinary team expressly dedicated to counseling national and multinational registered and private funds and their sponsors, investment advisers, broker-dealers and other institutional market participants. With decades of experience, our attorneys have deep roots in the industry. Several bring valuable public institution experience to the team, while others formerly held senior roles within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Labor.

Our dedicated team of attorneys advises registered investment companies and their boards on fund formation, regulatory requirements and fund governance. We counsel families of funds including mutual funds, continuously offered closed-end funds, including interval funds, tender offer funds and exchange-traded funds. We have the skill to advise billion-dollar fund families and the agility to counsel innovative startups. Our extensive in-house experience instills trust in clients who engage us to serve as fund or independent counsel and provide guidance on fund formation, reorganizations and restructurings, enforcement matters, risk management and day-to-day operations. We represent you in disputes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and frequently obtain exemptive and no-action relief on various matters.
