About Wendy E. Cohen
Wendy Cohen, co-chair of the Investment Management and Funds group, understands the business realities and challenges of the competitive world of asset management. For three decades, asset managers have turned to her to navigate the minefield of regulation that governs the structuring and operation of private investment funds. From the largest and most established hedge funds to innovative players with alternative strategies, clients rely on Wendy to handle all legal issues that touch their businesses.
Customizing practical plans
Wendy knows that asset managers don't fit a single mold. She understands each of her client's businesses, and uses that understanding to suggest practical strategies that are commercial while minimizing the risk of regulatory violations. Those clients have rewarded her with their loyalty. In an industry where personal connections matter, Wendy forges fast and long-standing relationships with clients large and small.
