Burstein advises on legal and regulatory matters such as registration and operation, mergers and acquisition transactions, and regulatory compliance, as well as the structuring, negotiating, and documenting of alternative investments.
K&L Gates’ investment management practice has more than 150 lawyers in offices in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia, making it one of the largest such practices in the world.
