Regulatory expertise that drives real-world innovation.
From obtaining industry-first exemptive and no-action relief to assisting in the development of novel products, we have helped our clients become and remain industry leaders. We touch trillions worth of assets as counsel to more than half of the top 20 U.S. fund firms, serve as counsel to independent directors to more than 100 fund groups, and represent more than 40 fund sponsors.
Stradley Ronon is one of only three firms ranked in Band 1 for Nationwide: Registered Funds by Chambers USA. Our investment management practice is bolstered by a robust slate of former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff members, many of whom served in the SEC’s Division of Investment Management and as thought leaders for the regulations we see today.
At the inception of the mutual fund industry, Stradley Ronon was directly involved in the creation of one of the first mutual funds in the United States. That drive continues today with our firm’s involvement in emerging areas such as next-generation exchange-traded products, alternative products, fintech, and swaps and other derivatives trading. Our team advises investment advisers, public and private funds, fund boards, service providers and insurance companies on matters ranging from traditional and novel regulatory issues to practical considerations relevant to initial formation and continued operations.
