Macfarlanes LLP tackles issues tied to the gamut of open-ended funds structures, with particular expertise in novel LTAFs. On the regulatory front, the team advises on Consumer Duty and the Overseas Funds Regime among an array of others. Practice head Lora Froud is an LTAF expert, having assisted with the design of these structures, with her wider practice encompassing issues tied to fund restructuring and distribution. Alexandra Green advises fund managers and banks on the FCA’s Consumer Duty regulations, MiFID II issues and challenges arising out of Brexit, with Alexandra Cochrane overseeing the establishment of UCITS, NURS and other investment vehicles. Tiffany Cox, who made senior associate in September 2023, is frequently called upon by fund managers looking to launch ESG-focused funds and comply with sustainability disclosure requirements.
