Margaret’s experience ranges from preparing fund registration statements, shareholder reports, proxy statements, and other filings, to capital raising, marketing, preparing offering documents, drafting organizational documents, and counseling clients on regulatory, compliance, and operational issues both during an active fund raise and during the operational stage (including with respect to sponsor carried interest and management company arrangements).
