At Fox Rothschild LLP, we have a wealth of experience in creating and forming broker-dealers, registered investment advisers, commodity entities and various hedge funds. Over the years, our strategy has been to work with our clients to develop these entities while also assisting them in their ongoing business operations. As a result of the breadth of our experience, we have produced this handbook as a reference guide for both those who are contemplating an entrance into this exciting field as well as those already in the business seeking a handy resource when a question arises.

In anticipation of your interest, we wish to provide you with a summary of the most common compliance-related issues faced by the above-referenced entities. Of course, we have not covered every conceivable issue. Therefore, we suggest that you contact us with any questions or concerns if an issue should arise. Please keep in mind that any deviation from the current statutory and regulatory structure could subject you and your associates to significant liability.
