Years after the financial crisis, private funds in the U.S. and Europe continue to be affected by factors as varied as the trends in enforcement of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; reforms to the U.S. tax code; ongoing uncertainty over Brexit, including whether the U.K. will make a “hard” or “soft” departure from the E.U.; cybersecurity risks; and selective disclosure concerns. These issues were the focus of a segment of the second annual Private Funds Forum co-produced by Bloomberg BNA and Seward & Kissel (S&K) on September 15, 2016. The panel was moderated by S&K partner Robert Van Grover and featured James E. Cofer and David R. Mulle, also partners at S&K; Richard Perry, a partner at Simmons & Simmons; Matthew B. Siano, managing director and general counsel of Two Sigma Investments; and Mark Strefling, general counsel and chief operating officer of Whitebox Advisors. This article highlights the salient points made by the panel. For coverage of the first segment of this forum, see our two-part series: “How Managers Can Mitigate Improper Dissemination of Sensitive Information” (Sep. 22, 2016); and “How Managers Can Prevent Conflicts of Interest and Foster an Environment of Compliance to Reduce Whistleblowing and Avoid Insider Trading” (Sep. 29, 2016). On Tuesday, November 1, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. EDT, Mulle and fellow S&K partner Steve Nadel will expand on issues relating to side letters in a complimentary webinar co-produced by the Hedge Fund Law Report and S&K.
