Kramer Levin Launches the Private Funds Blog

Kramer Levin has launched the Private Funds Blog, which provides market and legal insights on international and domestic private investment funds, including hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, venture capital funds and funds of funds. The blog will be edited by partner Kevin P. Scanlan, special counsel Darina Delappe and associate David Yanvarashvili.

“The legal and regulatory framework that private fund managers must navigate is more complex than ever, and that’s why we wanted to establish a venue for practical, digestible commentary on important industry issues,” said Kevin. “Through serving as counsel to a diverse and innovative set of private fund managers, we believe our team is well positioned to provide market and legal insights that will be helpful to both in-house counsel and managers of private funds. We welcome input from across the industry and look forward to the dialogue.” 

The blog’s initial posts address:

• When Might Loans Be Deemed Securities?
• Certain Initial Considerations Associated with Forming a Hedge Fund Management Business
• Hedge Fund Liquidity Management Considerations

In addition to Kevin, Darina and David, contributors to the blog will include other members of the Investment Management and Corporate groups and other relevant practices.
