Formation of Private Funds
Our securities attorneys provide effective and efficient services for individuals and companies interested in forming hedge funds, venture funds and other private funds.

Compliance With Securities Regulations

JLG provides advice about developing and testing comprehensive compliance programs that take into account the myriad of federal compliance laws and regulations such as:
- Regulation D and Regulation S
- The Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934
- Rules 144 and 144A
- Sections 3(c)(1) and (3)(c)(7), The Investment Company Act of 1940
- The Investment Advisers Act of 1940
