With our international network, as well as our alliance for hedge fund and asset management work with US law firm Seward & Kissel, we are able to provide asset managers with coordinated global legal advice.

No other firm can match our level of sector experience. And we actively share our knowledge, working closely with industry associations and others. For example, in collaboration with Bloomberg, we’ve delivered a survey of almost 2,000 global buy-side professionals, providing unique insights on the future of the industry.

Our immersion in the sector enables us to go beyond technical legal guidance, delivering rounded, actionable strategic advice. It’s also informed the development of innovations such as navigator, a Simmons sector–leading online subscription service that provides information on global cross-border distribution of funds, portfolio management, share disclosure obligations and tax to subscribers, LaunchPlus – our online service for startup hedge fund managers and Netting + Collateral Reviewer – our online subscription service that assists subscribers meet regulatory requirements for netting opinions.
