Godfrey & Kahn has one of the Midwest's largest investment management practices, with a team of attorneys dedicated solely to investment management clients. Our team offers a wide range of experience and includes attorneys who have worked at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), held senior executive positions at national and international mutual fund groups and served as in-house counsel to companies within the investment management industry. This broad experience gives us the insight and understanding necessary to advise clients in the United States and abroad on the complex issues faced by investment management firms. Additionally, our team is uniquely positioned to provide clients with a high level of hands-on service at extremely competitive rates in comparison to other large-city firms with investment management practices.

We represent numerous national and international investment funds, including mutual funds (and/or their independent directors), hedge funds, venture capital funds and investment partnerships. We also represent registered investment advisors, exempt investment advisors, broker-dealers, mutual fund distributors, banks and trust companies. Our team works closely with the firm's other related practice areas, including corporate, tax, ERISA, financial services and litigation practice areas, providing counsel to our clients in all areas of the investment management business.
