Hedge Fund Law Report recently interviewed Garret Filler in connection with his recent return to Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. As special counsel in the firm’s New York office, Filler represents both start-up and established hedge funds and private equity funds, as well as family offices, banks and broker-dealers. This article, the second in a two-part series, sets forth Filler’s thoughts on family offices transitioning to asset managers; broker-dealer registration issues for fund managers; considerations when negotiating counterparty agreements; the implications to hedge funds of increased capital and liquidity requirements for banks and broker-dealers; and the impact of new margin requirements for uncleared derivatives. In the first installment, Filler discussed the cultures of private fund managers; selection of outside counsel, including law firm relationships with regulators and their willingness to enter into alternative fee arrangements; and counterparty risk. For additional insight from Cadwalader partners, see “Practical Guidance for Hedge Fund Managers on Preparing for and Handling NFA Audits” (Oct. 17, 2014).
